A member asked:
Is it possible to get rid of zits overnight, or does fixing them always take longer than that?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cortisone shots: A kenalog (triamcinolone) shot can shrink an a cyst overnight. At home the only option is a zeno or heat device for localized cysts.

No: It is not possible. Zits are an infection in the skin. They wil go through a evolution through several days before they settle down.
