A big blob of Sudocrem should improve it!

Paper bag 🤔

Sorry, good luck, this always happens when you least want it to! I've heard toothpaste works but not 100% sure as when I tried it really stung!

I second sudocrem

EffYouSeeKaye · 30/07/2021 22:20

Not sudocrem. It’s comedogenic and will cause more spots to appear.

linerforlife · 30/07/2021 22:27

Hydrocortisone cream. Sparingly and only for tonight / the morning. It'll go down... and then likely come up with a lovely head the day after the wedding!!! But hydrocortisone can thin the skin so you're not supposed to use it on the face - hence sparingly and for emergencies only!!!

Rainydayss · 30/07/2021 22:28

Ah to sudocrem or not...
Failing that, bag is a good choice.
Haven't had a spot in months then a mammoth volcanic looking one appears...typical

Toothpaste can dry out.

Mindgone · 30/07/2021 23:37

I have exactly the same problem tonight! And a wedding tomorrow!! 😩
Good cover up! And good luck!

A cotton bud dipped in water as hot as you can handle and then applied directly to spot.

tea tree oil dabbed on overnight

Cotton wool or similar soaked in hot salt water - brought a massive one on my eyelid down overnight

PingedThroughTheWall · 31/07/2021 00:06

Put some windex on it

This is why I always have Spots for Dots.

Doesn't help you now, but might be worth investing in for future emergencies.

Wear a mask! The perfect Covid solution.

I've heard a crushed aspirin, mashed into a paste using a tiny bit of water helps!

Coffeepot72 · 31/07/2021 08:23

Just promise me you won’t squeeze it? Very occasionally this helps, but more often than not it makes the problem 10 times worse.

Miseryisabutterfly · 31/07/2021 08:43

Definitely sudocrem. Never did me wrong.

PersephoneJames · 31/07/2021 08:57

I recently had a surprise success with anusol cream Blush
