Using Voltarol gel on a spot?

I rarely get spots but when I do they tend to be hideous, massive, painful and under the skin (rarely have a head, sorry TMI). Currently have one between eyebrow and nose, it's really painful. I've done my usual things of using dabs of clay mask to draw it out, then toothpaste at night. Also used glycolic fix pads to 'cleanse' area.

I thought rubbing a wetted aspirin on might help but I don't have any aspirin, so i have put a dab of Voltarol gel on, on the basis that it's anti-inflammatory. The pain does seem to have diminished slightly! Has anyone else tried this - or is it a bad idea?

Oh I dont know but do let me know if it works!! The lady that did my sisters wedding make up says to use a liquid anadin, pierce the capsule and pour the contents on, I have never been brave enough to try!
