Pimple solutions?

pistolpackinmomma · February 2014

I have one in the opening of my left nostril. It is big and angry and unpoppable (I tried today when it hurt like hell) and if it get much bigger I'm going to have breathing issues. Any solutions? A friend told me warm compress but I didn't know if anyone might have something better.

That's about all you can do if it's that close to a mucus membrane. The hotter the compress, the better. Make it as warm as you can stand it. The warm compress will probably pop it. Then you can put hydrocortisone cream on it, then Neosporin on top of that, and use an ice pack to reduce the swelling and redness.

Something to dry it out.....maybe wash with Dr. Bronner's (I use the one with tea tree oil). At least it will feel tingly and make you think it is working

this may sound weird, but toothpast (just a tiny bit) overnight helps dry it out. don't spread it over uneffect areas - it can cause nasty dry patches to healthy skin.

also, trying giving yourself a steam facial before applying anything topical (heat a pot of water, then hold yoru face over the steam for 5-10 mins. this will help open your pores nice and wide for absorption of whatever topical goo you're trying.

Tea tree oil is also amazing. I use the tea tree line from the body shop and it has worked wonders now that I'm pregnant. Prior to pregnancy I was on a perception grade wash/creams. I think my mirena was just messing up my hormones in general.
