How can you shrink the swelling in a zit quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid injection: To be very proactive about a "zit" your dermatologist should be willing to give you a small steroid injection to speed up its resolution. Not in the mood for a shot? Then you can also try one of the commercially available heat-based devices (zeno or thermaclear) to try to get rid of it more quickly.
