Hi all
This is pretty gross but I've just discovered it and it seems too good a tip not to pass on.
Since having DC my skin has gone to shit- specifically with very large cyst like spots that have no head so can't be squeezed but that stick around for weeks at a time and are huge and painful.
In a moment of pure desperation the other night, before bed I covered a couple of this little bastards with a savlon Hydrocolloid plaster (like these, see picture). I don't know what made me do it.
However, when I woke and removed the plasters the spots had not only deflated and were no longer painful, but the plaster had drawn out all the pus! There was even a lovely lump of yellow pus on the dressing to prove it!! I then dabbed a bit of tea tree oil on and the spots were cover up with concealerable within hours.
Have since done it twice more with new spots and it's worked perfectly each time. It's made the turnaround from spawn to being able to conceal these spots 1-2 days as apposed to 1-2 weeks.
I hope this helps someone else.
