Help me get rid of spotty scab on chin before Saturday!

[EverydayMusing]

I have a 50th party to attend & this stupid scab. My fault for skin picking.

What will help? I have mild acne so a bit of pus keeps coming back.

Do I keep it moisturised? Will it go away by then?

I’m a bit tanned which helps disguise it but would rather not have crusty concealer of shame on it!

Oh I do this and regret it every time. My trick is get a pimple sticker or even a hydrocolloid bandage and stick it on overnight or during the day if you're brave. It keeps it clean and stops it from drying out and getting crusty or from being picked. Helps toy reduce the texture so that you can cover it with concealer

Definitely a pimple patch

Ooh thank you, both.
Will look on Amazon. Please let me know if you recommend particular ones. Could nip out to Boots later.

If you have a Neal's Yard near you, Neem oil is amazing for these kinds of spots. It isn't the nicest of smells, but a wee dab at night, and I've always found it's calmed right down by morning then heals v quickly.

Thank you! We do & im going later. Will look out for it. The hydro colloidal plasters were amazing yesterday - thanks for the tip!

Sudacrem always work for me usually gone in 3 days

Thanks! Me too but it’s at the scab stage.

Had to come back to say THANK YOU for the hydrocolloid plaster idea. I had some blister plasters lying around and tried them on the offchance... WOW what a difference. I have normal skin again! Thank you soooo much.
