Does toothpaste on a zit work?

yes acctually i turned 14 today and have been living with pimples for about 5 or 6 years now if i ask someonewhat is best for to get rid of a pimple they will tell me to put toothpaste on it and at first i was like that wouldnt work but thn i tried it and it really did work n they would also tell me to go outside more often if you do both iyour face clears right up :)
