I squeeze it, pick it, harass it, until it is about 11X bigger than it originally was. And then I put concealer on it. And I just look like I'm walking around with a beige mountainous growth on my face.

I don't get them often, so they drive me INSANE when I do get them. And I only get UNDERGROUND PIMPLES now that I'm pregnant! Those are the most painful, un-poppable ones!

I use a hot washcloth to try and draw it out, and then ice & use cortisone cream.. unfortunately I get them a lot on my chin where they *hurt*. Hoping my skin goes back to normal after pregnancy!

the big ones i get are usually the really deep ones that have no exit, so i sear it with a hot compress for about 15-20 minutes 1-2x per day, which is supposed to help it drain underneath the skin. and then i slop the concealer on. i never ever squeeze these because it just makes it get worse. if it doesn't go away after a week, then i go to the dermatologist and a cortisone shot usually helps it drain.

I am not capable of leaving zits alone. Whitehead, blackhead, anything, I MUST pop/pick at them. And then I use concealer. And when it scabs over, I continue to pick at it... I suck.

Sadly, my dad is a dermatologist, so obviously I should know better. :T

I pop it. If it's the deep, under the skin kind, I try to leave it alone and use concealer.

I don't get them very often anymore but I steam my face and let it come to the surface. If it's a white head then I use a little pimple squeezer that I got from sephora and then apply zit zapper. Then I soak the pimple squeezer in bleach. If I have an under grounder, that thing gets layers of concealer and powder...and it bothers me until it goes down. Oh and if I'm bad about picking, I apply neosporin.

unfortunately, i pop it when it's ready to be popped and then pick at it when it's healing. can't help it.

zit cream and a little extra foundation or concealer

I am too scared to pop, and I used to feel a little silly about that, but then felt better when I went to get a professional facial and they said that they wouldn't squeeze my clogged pores either, as my skin is too sensitive and I might scar.

Ditto to @jesslc!

If you (or anyone reading), gets the deep/underground type of zits that take AGES to go away - find a dermatologist. They can inject it with cortisone and it'll just about disappear over night! I swear. It's so worth the visit co-pay too. I've had plenty of times where I've made last minute appointments just for this purpose. If I leave it be, it will take forever to go away and will leave a scar behind. No thanks!
