What's your hot tip for zapping a spot?

I've sprouted the biggest spot ever. It is absolutely enormous and I just can't seem to leave it alone. I've tried toothpaste, tea tree, vodka, germoline, a hot compress and it's getting bigger and bigger (probably I grant you because I'm not leaving it alone!) I can't help it, I'm a fiddler, does anyone have a miraculous remedy up their sleeve?!

Depends what type of spot it is. I love the ones that squirtv out on the mirror when you squeeze. Very satisfying.

Some are best left alone.

I bathe in warm water, wrap fingers in tissue and try to squeeze. Don't force it if nothing comes out easily. Then I apply an antiseptic cream.

Works for me.

Sudocrem - big blob of it! It dries up the spot without drying out the skin, so you can later wear concealer without it crackling and looking bloody obvious.

it's really painful, almost like a bruise. definitely not one to squeeze (although i have tried)

now sudocrem i haven't tried...

Just don't forget it's there when you answer the door...

I always squeeze mine. Gets rid of them quicker. And lets face it, thats what concealer was invented for.

toothpaste, big blob on overnight, calms the spot and dries it up
