How I understand exactly what you are going through
Have you tried sudacream .?....put some on over night and it should be less angry ... I’m older now and it’s eased ... but the stress that put me under .... try taking zinc tablets ( check with doc first )
Supplements ... Zinc is a healer ... we don’t get enough in our diet ...and fatty food always made mine worse ... good luck ... drink water I know it’s boring but it will help ... I was told my liver does not like fatty food and that’s why my cystic acne erupted ....I never thought it would go but older and almost none existent ...

A pinprick with a sterilised fine needs to release any pus won't cause scabbing and will make it look much better.

needle, not needs

Anusol - piles cream - can reduce angry swelling

Squeeze it, desinfect it and put a Compeed cold sore invisible patch on it. Then you can put concealer over the patch. It will disappear, guaranteed :). Good luck on your interview!

Years ago I went to a job interview with a massive hormonal spot on the end of my nose. I had just started going out with dh at the time and asked him if the spot was very noticeable, hoping to be reassured. He said "put it this way, you might as well be wearing a badge saying "I've got my period". I sometimes wonder why I married him. I got the job though.

Toothpaste overnight is good. Then lots of concealer tomorrow.

Good luck with the interview

How’s it looking this morning? Good luck regardless !!

Frownette · 03/03/2020 06:52

Good luck!

MagnoliaJustice · 03/03/2020 11:38

Well? How did the interview go? Did they look you in the eye or focus on your forehead?

Seriously though, I hope you smashed it!

If all else fails, stick a googly eye over it. At least you'll be memorable.

JhustJenny · 03/03/2020 18:22

googly eye 🤣 fantastic

I’m cringing now at myself but I answered all the questions well - my hair covered the spot I just looked a bit like a Dulux dog 😆

When will you find out if you've got the job?

And more importantly, are you going to let @ThunderPython at your spot now? Grin

embolass · 03/03/2020 21:02

Said spot will now be miraculously disappearing. They always know when the big event is over!

JhustJenny · 03/03/2020 21:25

Em yeah it might have disappeared except I tried to pop it today (sorry @MagnoliaJustice and @ThunderPython!) and now it looks like I’ve cut my head!! 🤦‍♀️
