How to persuade big dumb spots to go away?!

[CarpeJugulum]

Large, lumpy, sore, slightly shiny and right beside my nose.

How the hell do I get it to bugger off? (Preferably before Friday!)

TIA

This....

Have you tried toothpaste? I always seem to get them at this time of year and am wearing my colgate dots as i type! Dries them out quite well and so makes them easier to cover. Don't poke them!

Can't get to shops today, but might try the toothpaste option. Poking it is hard to avoid - slight hay fever, so I bash it every time I blow my nose.

It's not even pus-y, just hard and sore. Oh well, can't make it worse I suppose!

Vichy spot treatment is very good.

Cheryl Cole uses sudo cream. Heard from a few friends it works! Can't say I've personally tried though. Also wasn't there a thread on here a while back about putting a certain plaster on it overnight? Think it was for blisters. It was suppose to be fantastic
