• if you pop a zit too soon, you could end up scarring your face. so the best thing to do is to let it come up naturally..
  
  A good way that i have found to keep the embarrassment away and the zits from coming is that whenever I feel one is about to come to the surface, I put a little bit of a mud mask treatment over the area and the surrounding areas. What happens is it pulls it up and out. I usually put the treatment on before bed for about 15 minutes and then wash it away and the next morning i cant even tell that i was going to have a zit there. the treatment i use is by Castle Baths.

• Apply Clearisil Acne Treatment cream with 10% benzoyl - works real fast at reducing spots/ zits!! Better than popping. If you must pop it, only pop when it's yellowy as this means it's "ripe", popping too soon increases chance of infection and scarring.
  
  Wash your hands, use clean tissue/ cotton buds, then clean the spot and soothe with warm water. Avoid applying anything to it after and wash hands to avoid spreading bacteria. =o)
• This might seem like a weird answer but hey this might just be the place for it. What has worked for me and I can only speak for myself, is whenever I have a zit i dab a bit of toothepaste of it before I got to bed at night and in the morning its ready to be popped. It has a clear head and is usually quite easy to pop without scarring.

• DON'T POP IT!!
  It will leave you with a horrible red mark and could possible scar, and will actually take longer for it to fade!
  Just apply a spot cream onto it (I recommend clearasil) and it should be gone in no time :)
  And throughout the day simply use a concealer to hide it - but be sure to wash it off at night !

• pull the skin apart either side of the spot and if it's ready to pop it'll pop. squeezing it pushes it more into your skin causing it to last longer
• it duznt matter wen u pop it... only matters how u pop it and how u take care of it after u pop it...
