Best killing the spot remedies

I have a horrendous spot just under my nose, it is huge, has a big head under the skin but not squeezable, very sore and red and well huge really.

Its the 3rd time its erupted and never really went away inbetween.

I've been using hot water to try and draw it out, nothing. Also been using my spot treatment from the doctor, Zineryt but its doing nothing.

Help, everyone keeps talking to it.

Malin & Goetz sulphar paste or any other type of magnesium sulphate paste (be careful though as some of these pastes can burn the skin) is usually good at drawing out spots. Leave it on overnight.

Last few spots I had I out calamine lotion on them (had in anyway as dd had the pox) by the morning the spot had basically gone

Sudacreme!

I cannot believe how good it is with spots. It's bollody brilliant.

Oh thank you, I have calamine in the cupboard (also left over from chicken pox), will try that tonight and if no joy, will buy the others tomorrow.

Another vote here for sudacreme!

Calamine has been dabbed on. Hope it works, its now the size of a penny Shock. Perhaps its a cyst?

A tiny drop of pure tea tree essential oil will nuke it overnight. Just be sure to only put it on the spot and not surrounding skin. I've been using it for years - does a fab job.
