A huge red spot has emerged on my face due to stress lately.
It needs to be gone by Monday! :crazyeyes

it works for me
Don't pick/pop at it and risk a scabbing though.
If not, I'm going to buy some surgical spirit tomorrow.
Perfume (or yes, any alcohol-based product) will dry it out and I've done that before with fair success. Fair warning, it stings like a bitch.
I'd also recommend a product Boots and a lot of other folks do...Boots' used to be called ACT spot reducing agent or similar, but Tesco do an own brand too iirc. It's this gel that you plop on the offending spot (overnight is best, I reckon) and it's decent, though I haven't used it for a while. Hope it still exists!
Is it just me or does anyone else have a weird fascination with popping spots?
Sounds disgusting but the satisfaction you get from it :yippe:
arghghhgh. My mother. :impissed: And since she doesn't have any of her own she tends to try and attack mine..
If popping spots is weird then I wouldn't want to be normal.
I'm a menace if someone's got a big shiny spot that's ripe for a squeezing, I must make so many people feel like shit...I just can't tear my eyes away..
but if its just a red one, how about leaving it to go down? because its only wednesday.
I'm stressing its still gonna be there, lol. I know I'm silly stressing about it because I'm making it worse but arghhh.
Its huge!
I went the gym this morning and it almost doubled in size. That irritated me.
But Coldsores.....
i squeeze my dads blackheads for him after he's had a shave.
it's like..monkeys grooming each other, except i don't eat what i dig out =P
Boots do an overnight gel with tea tree and witchhazel in, which is very good. Also the body shop do a mini handbag sized blemish stick with tea tree in it, also very good, but the best so far has been Clean and Clear - they do a mini tube of spot gel too which I'm atm using on one rather stubborn blighter on my forehead and it seems to be working.
Would NEVER dream of popping spots though, that's not only rough but leaves scars, which imo are worse than the occassional spot.

Ah that is the best phrase ever. Ever. You rock.
and i'm sure whoever you're seeing won't mind if you have a little spot on your forehead.
But yeah white heads deff pop them :thumb: Who wants a puss filled pore on their face ;p
Aye, that'll be right. It's the pustules that are spot-squeezer heaven.
I've bought some quick clear treatment gel by clearasil so hopefully that will make it dissappear! lol
