So I suffer a lot with hormonal, cystic spots where I notice my skin is starting to throb and slowly the spot gets bigger. I feel a bit powerless to stop it though have tried everything available. It can take ages to come to a head as the infection is really deep. Like a week in some cases and even then that’s because I’ve started to try and squeeze it prematurely.
This week I followed some advice I’d seen on here and crushed up an aspirin tablet, mixed it with some water and applied it to the spot. It had an immediate effect in taking the spot down. I was amazed at how quickly it stopped the swelling and the pain and the spot disappeared virtually overnight. I can’t believe I didn’t know know just how effective aspirin was. Definitely worth a go if you get these types of spots.
