Zit but no Zit Cream

You don't need zit cream to help clear up that zit. You can use any of the following-and I have listed them in order of my preference:

1. Neosporin
First clean your skin, then apply the Neosporin. It is an antibiotic ointment & helps prevent scaring 

2. Toothpaste (Not gel, it must be paste)
First clean your skin, then put a dab of the toothpaste on the zit. This is best when applied and left on all night. Then it has time to dry out the zit. 

3. Household Ingredients:* 
-QTip, Hydrogen Peroxide 
-1/2 T. of lemon juice 
-1/2 oz powdered oatmeal
-1/4 cup egg white
-3 drops honey
DIRECTIONS:  Clean zit with Hydrogen Peroxide; mix remaining ingredients & apply to zit; let sit for 20 mins then rinse with warm water
