To be annoyed with a huge throbbing spot on my forehead?

[sweetkitty]

I know in the grander scheme of things and all that but I have a big red spot on my forehead that is throbbing and giving me a headache. There's no head so I can't even have the satisfaction of squeezing the bugger. It's bloody sore.

I had one on my chin last week was hooooge and it hurt it did settle down I put sudocreme on it

Yabu for not posting a picture!

Give it a name
Rub a painkiller on it.

I find ibuprofen really helps, gel if you have it, if not tablets will do. It will take the inflammation down, then put a hot flannel over it to help the head form so you can squeeze it and put pictures up for the sporners

Ibuprofen gel is your friend.

really Ibuprofen gel works that is genuis

I get those. I have to patience though so end up poking and hoking until it turns into a big hole in my forehead :)

I cant squeeze spots it makes me feel queasy if i have one dh is dying to squeze it till it goes he is weird

Oh I've got ibuprofen gel will try that.

DP thinks I'm mad I think I'm a sporner too I had a sore heel for a few days then noticed a lovely big juicy spot on it, took a picture, enjoyed that one

My family are pickers and pokers and squeezers it gives me the heave

Do you still have the photo of the heel spot, sweetkitty?!

Sounds like a papule, are you particularly hormonal at the moment?

Oh yes photo of heel spot is on phone

Yes I'm hormonal just come off pill so having first true cycle in a while (not TTC at all)

Does ibuprofen gel work?! (serious acne question here).
another helpful thing to keep it really clean is to boil some water, let it cool a but and dab it on with a cotton bud or clean makeup brush or something (but not immediately or you'll just burn your head).
