Spot giving me a headache!!

My. God. I have a whopper of a spot just below the inner end of my eyebrow and it's giving me a headache and sinus ache. :(

Ive been fiddling with it all day but it just won't come to a head. I've just dabbed it with tea tree oil and hope it's away by tomorrow. I'm going in for an operation tomorrow and I don't want the theatre staff to stare at it!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Why, why, why now?

    Two on outside of eyebrows on left
    One massive one on middle of my chin
    One on my jaw line directly below above one

    I might never leave the house.. Hope your op goes well .. :)

    If I get a spot and want it to "mature" quickly, I run a flannel under hot water and then apply it to the spot. Hold it on there for about a minute. This opens the pore(s) and helps the icky bits come out. I use an antibacterial cream after I've removed the ick. Works well for me :)

    Hi another thing you can do to bring it to a head is make a paste out of epsom salts and put it on it leave it on it and it should be gone by tomorrow.

    I'm going to try this tonight! I'm absolutely covered at the moment :(
  • Well, I continued with the tea tree oil in the absence of anything else (thanks for the tips!) and it came to a head this morning (bleurgh!).

    Op went well and no comments about plook!
