Seeing all my school friends at a wedding next weekend and I currently look like Rudolph the Bubonic Plague Reindeer.

The fucker won't come me to a head - have tried hot compress, needle and squeezing. Very tender but no gunk. It's been like this for about three days.

I need this to be gone by next Saturday!

If it was me (and this is no endorsement) I'd have tried everything you have and tonight I'd be putting toothpaste on it. By the morning I'd expect it to have dried right out. Good luck!

Get some of this on it tomorrow - has anti inflammatory in it ....good stuff !

Mag sulph paste should draw it out

The toothpaste didn't work. I think I've angered it.

Little bit of surgical spirit on it. Twice a day. Dries it right out. Some mineral make up - that stuff covers anything if all else fails! Good luck.

Acnecide from boots (over the counter) seems to really calm down any I get.

My ftiend swears by Sudocream on spots!

No point trying to dry out until it's popped and open. That's bugger all op. It'll be well flat by next weekend. I've had ones which have taken over half my face making a nurse friend exclaim (who you'd have thought would have seen everything) ooh. What have you done 😐? It took months ☹ all over Christmas. Nearly cried when I bent down. I also had a spot with 3 fucking heads. ☹

Feel better?

EarlessToothlessVagabond · 30/07/2017 14:09

Tea tree oil! Diluted a little bit.

That's a cracker, by the way.

Does make up not cover it or does it just burn through It?!

Flying you realise we're going to need a picture of that?

Neverenoughspoons · 30/07/2017 14:19

Dream dots are meant to be good from amazon. I've not used them myself though.

Puffpaw · 30/07/2017 14:29

Mag sulphate tonight, draw it out, extract, disinfect, then put an anti inflammatory on like ibuleve.

Puffpaw · 30/07/2017 14:30

Oh and get some green cream for under your makeup for any residual redness.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/07/2017 14:32

I'd get some TCP on that!

cavatron · 30/07/2017 23:55

Su. Do. Crem.

It's God's ointment. For spots. Promise.

ChakaLoopy · 31/07/2017 00:22

Freederm!

junerat · 31/07/2017 22:02

Ok, so the mag sulphate did a good enough job for me to be able to plaster it in makeup today to go to the zoo, without being stopped trying to leave the rhino enclosure.

It's not swollen or tender anymore but is still disgustingly crusty. What next? Sudocrem? Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour? Vaseline?

NiceCuppaTeaAndASitDown · 31/07/2017 22:13

I'd sudocreme next

Puffpaw · 31/07/2017 22:47

Patience now, don't fiddle, your body can fix this. In a few days time alpha h gold swished over
