Scratched spot, now its got bigger! Need to cover the mark up now!

Basically i got annoyed with a couple of spots that formed by my lip. So i scratched it and this morning theres a bigger red mark around it, which looks pretty damn bad!

I am working tomorow, and I'm also going to a party, so i dont really want this to show up badly! Does anybody have any tips to cover this up temporarily, or is there a magic formula to make it seem less?

Cheers, Nathan

Toothpaste is supposed to make spots look smaller, just put it on the spot before you go to bed and wash it off in the morning. You could also use tea trea oil if you have any, or concealer maybe?
hmm wudnt do the toothpaste thing- doesnt work lol just makes them redder!

just avoid touching the area at all and wash it frequently...gud luk and btw often spots arent as noticeable as u think they are.
BONJELA!

Redness from scratching normally goes away pretty quickly.

Try taking a long dump.

MAC concealer. Works a treat. In selfridges they're very helpful. But I'm spectacularly vain.

Yes i also am spectacularly vain so i wear foundation and then concealer on top in order to hide my spots,which probably makes them worse but i will not go outside with spots on display.
