Looking for advice on spots..!!

[iv-tecman]

Hope this isn’t considered a medical thread, I know the rules are very strict on not allowing members to provide advice on ailments, however this question is just one of those silly little things I’d hope someone has an idea to help rid..

I’m prone to getting spots on the inside of my nose, sometimes its self inflicted as I tend to trim nose hairs as I don’t like them. Pulling a hair out with tweezers can sometimes leave an area that gets infected and creates a sore spot. Not a problem, some cream in the inside of the nose, and within a week its normally settled down…

However, this time, the spot has developed right on the outside of my left nostril. And it looks very sore, and ugly. I’ve put some anti-sceptic ointment on the affected areas, and the inside of the left nostril, but anyway to reduce the swelling faster? Any tips?

Reason I ask, I’m on a date this coming Saturday, and I’d like to have it reduced a little before I take a girl out….. Yeah, I know not the end of the world, but feeling a bit self conscious, can’t help getting a sore on your skin….. But best endeavours to reduce if I can…..

Again, hope its not medical, just looking for tips if any on how to reduce a sore quicker – if possible… We’ve all had um… lol

Cheers for all the ideas, I'll give um a go. However doubt I'll be able to get to see a GP before Sat, but nevermind.... Hopefully she'll not notice it - much..!!

It might go down before then, its still a couple of days away. Being optimistic that she'll not cancel on me...

Well she's said yes to the date, so I'm assuming she's seen them before? So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Not this one… lol We met on Tuesday for drinks, and I asked her to join me Saturday evening after our first initial meet and greet etc, and then yesterday evening felt the left nostril getting sorer and sorer…

Ooh it’ll be fine, couldn’t have been that repulsive to her Tuesday and I had a few small spots that day, just not as large as the one i've got now... – agreed to see me Sat… I’m sure one spot isn’t going to matter much, just like it to be less noticeable… It seems to be going down using anti-sceptic cream, I’ll try some toothpaste later on today…..

Don't put toothpaste on it, just carry on with keeping it clean and drink lots of water.

Is it just a big red lump or is it open at all?

Nice big red lump.... Nice..!! If I could only reduce the redness you'd not notice so much..... I am keeping it clean, I clean it before I apply cream.
