    and a I have a huge zit.  Any recommendations for the best remedies?  At home or from a drug store are fine!

    tea tree oil or the desert essence blemish touch stick.  You can get them at Trader Joes or Whole Foods.  Apply 5-6 times a day and don't pick at it; it should definitely be gone by 10 days :)  Also if you have a facialist she can treat the zit and surrounding areas with a "zapper" - I don't know they technical name for it but I've gotten it done before and the zit's gone in like 3 days.  Good luck!

    I say go get the shot too.  I did it and the redness and swelling went away right away!  Warning though- it does hurt like heck!

    GO GET THE SHOT!!!! It will take the zit down within a day!

    If you can get your hands on proactive quickly, that works very quickly too.

    Tanning always worked for me and my acne. I swear a short couple of sessions or two under a tanning bed and my acne clears up, I only use this method for when I have a breakout emergncy with a big event coming up. At least it's ten days out though and not a day or two before, good luck, I hope you find a method that works and you are pimple free on your big day! :)
