How to get rid of a spot quickly?

leandygandy

I have one on the bridge of my nose and wearing my glasses isn't helping it.

I have contact lenses so am currently wearing them, but at 6 months pregnant they don't seem to be sitting right (apparently this is normal)

Is there anything I can do to make the spot go away quicker?

TMI below, miss off if you'd prefer :

























I normally give spots a squeeze but this would leave an 'open wound' (for want of a better phrase) on my nose so I'm not convinced it would be a good idea in this instance.

TCP or methylated spirits. Even perfume (the alcohol dries it up).

I use quinoderm cream on mine, you can buy it in the chemist, it is really good.

undiluted tea tree oil dries them up quickly

Toothpaste. Honestly.

Sudocrem works best for me.

I second tea tree - on a cotton bud, dabbed on a couple of times a day

Freederm gel - dries it up and kills the bacteria.

I agree with quinoderm. Strong stuff!

I find lavender oil works well,smells a bit better than tea tree oil,although I do swear by tea tree for other things.

I also use lavender essential oil on spots. It has anti-microbial and anti inflammatory properties. I use tea tree if I've ran out of lavender, or toothpaste overnight if I want to draw a spot out so I can squeeze it (I'm weird I know, but I love squeezing spots!)
