Help - boil on face and wedding on Saturday

Options
Well not really MSE but the title says it all.

I have a HUGE boil on my chin which is starting to go away but is still big and a bit...yuck yuck...crusty.

I have been using Tea Tree oil and sudo cream but is there anything else i could use that won't cost more than a fiver to try and either reduce it or dry it out before saturday.

Between that and the burns on my under arms from my wax the other day i'm going to be looking swell :rotfl:

  • If its at that crusty stage, now try putting on a big dollop of vaseline it will stop it being so dry!

    Bad chioce of phrase!! :p
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Perfume!

    I have a bottle of Cacharel Chloe, which I use if I get a spot.

    It drys it up in no time, the best thing I've found.

    Sometimes I get a whiff of it in the house and I know someones been at the 'spotty perfume' LOL

    Just get some aftershave on it but only on the spot....Avoid creams because this will feed the spot and dont put any make up (If you wear it) on until the wedding.

    Good Luckkkkkkkkkk
