Emergency spot treatment!!

Posted by taylor george on February 7, 2012 at 5:34am

Hi guys,

 

I've got a mental spot come up and i really want to try and reduce its size and redness fast! I did the silly thing of putting toothepaste on it in desperation and have just made it worse by cracking/ burning the skin. Ive read some stuff on here and today am drinking loads of water, have scrubbed with salt and olive oil, toned with cold chamomile tea and moisturised with shea butter. Any other tips????

 

Thanks :)

    I suffer from this aliment myself more often than I'd like to!

    What helps?

    - tea tree

    - aloe vera (brown - more healing etc. properties than the 'clear' type)

    - don't touch it unless you have to!...

    - avoid acidic/unripe fruit / allergens (agree with Helena)

    ...and if nothing helps, just leave the spot alone! (agree with Helena again;) That's often the most effective cure..

     

    By the way, they don't look like it but spots are kind of good for us, blessing in disguise!..it's a sign that your body is releasing toxins..so hooray!:) well, not really, but you know what I mean...lol

    My advice is- leave it alone. It usually helps for me better when I don't do anything, it disappears quicker!

    Also avoid eating tomatoes or unripe fruit it always makes my skin red and pimples are more visible then.
