i picked a spot and now it's gone nuclear!

[Heathcliffscathy]

it was a titchy whitehead, near my mouth on one side...i always get these around period time. i squeezed it, and since then have picked at it (bad bad sophable) and now it is HUGE and like a sore of death....help me to make it go away...it is revolting and no longer a spot, seriously more of a nuclear sore! help!

make sure it is a techno coloured plaster sophable

stinging is a good sign

surgical spirit will kill it ! I swear by it.It will hurt but it's good pain....

I saw a poor guy in MacDonalds once with a blue plaster on the face. I commented to him, did he have a piercing, and he said no, it was a spot and they'd made him cover it him. Poor love.

I had one on my lip recently, and Misdee said to as we were in the car, 'ooooooo that looks really sore Mieow' me thinking she was talking about my lip piercing, said 'no, its healing... look!!' she then said ' no that huge zit on your lip' it took about a week to heal, and it was HUGE!!

i've only got kiddie plasters with brightly coloured animals on

kiddies plaster... oh dear. Honestly you should try and see if the chemist can mix up that tincture for you.. healing is VERY fast

will sting when put on though..

paps, a chemist over here would laugh me out of the shop...but i'll try a neals yard or somewhere for it...sounds good.

rofl @ this thread!!

Sophable maybe you are up the duff I only get these when I am!!!!

I had a huge zit on my face when I was a student and I couldn't stop picking at it so I stuck a plaster on it. One of my housemates then wrote "ZIT" on the plaster with a marker pen. I then forgot all about it and, when the doorbell went, happily showed a group of students, who were interested in renting our house the following year, around. Thought the gorgeous bloke must fancy me the way he kept smiling at me. I didn't realise 'til they'd left. Still cringe about it now

MM, was that the housemate you MARRIED?

(and yes I know I'm supposed to be working)

Oh Lord, I never lived with dh as a student - I might not have married him if I had

Get back to work, woman

tea tree oil - works every time

custard explosion

Sorry to take such enjoyment out of someone else's misfortune but this has really cheered me up. I am suffering from an infected scabby blistered lip so don't feel quite so alone with my ailment having read this.

Zit update please sophable.

Picture posted please? Can we all see it erupt????

ok, so i put sudacreme on it after the tea tree torture. so now i have huge white crater like crusty thing on my face. so embarrassing. it has a tiny wisp of cotton wool embedded in it. lovely. i'm glad you're all enjoying this.

You need to fish that out with some tweezers.
