Sudocrem is very good... toothpaste also kind of works - dries the spot up so it's not so red. Or witchhazel stuff if you happen to have any

Dab TCP on it - stinks but it helps to minimise them.

try colgate or lemon juice <-- they help


I tried Colgate/tooth paste. It kept burning and left me a huge scar that still hasn't disappeared :'[
If its a whitehead squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze it!
you can help reduce the spot but suggestions about...especially the sudocream

but if its ache ure worried about overnight wont do it....try 5 years! thats how long it took me (all the face creams in...welll everywhere, 3 gps and 2 dermantologists) to sort it

so glad those times are over....

I tried the toothpaste method and my face was on fire - I took it off straight away! You have a scar from the toothpaste method? :s-smilie: jeeze.

Hope it does oneday vanish for you though.

Squeeze it out, wash it thoroughly with very hot water and soap, squeeze it again and wash it again. Dry it with cold water, just carry on doing it for a couple of minutes. Then dry it and put some aftershave or something like that on it, and don't touch it.
Grab a couple of aspirin, dissolve/crush them in a bit of water until a paste is created then apply the paste to your face. Leave it on for a few minutes, then wash it off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water. Et voila.
Tea-tree oil is amazing.
If I were you I'd put toothpaste on it overnight and then put some tea tree on it in the morning.
