Big day tomorrow and a whitehead tonight: what would you do?

The night before an interview, a wedding or a photo shoot, and there it is: one ripe spot. Forum advice tends to split into a few camps.

Common choices

Hands off + hydrocolloid patch: leave it overnight, conceal in the morning
A clinic visit for extraction or an injection: hand it to a professional; availability and cost vary by clinic
Clean hands, gentle and only if it is at the surface: many people still advise against it because marks and swelling can get worse
Makeup head-on: green colour corrector plus layered concealer

What almost everyone warns against

If it is a deep, painful, swollen lump, skip the home fixes and get it seen.
