Help me please...a spot question

[kate1976]

I'm off out in 4 hours time and I have 2 gigantic red spots on my chin, they have no head on them but they're red, inflamed and throbbing, any tips on how to make them less visible, I've spent all day having various people point them out!

Please help me!!

do you have time to go into boots??

i have 17 skin corrector..its in like a foundation bottle and its green, it evens skin tone and reduces redness...its about 4 quid. you can use it before foundation. it makes a great base.

hope it helps

Thanks turkey but I can't get to a boots as it's too far away and by the time I get there it'll be shut, I'll keep in mind your suggestion though and buy some skin corrector next time I'm there incase this happens again!

[turkey154]

oo nevermind..

my friend just said crushing an apspirin and making into a paste and putting that on the area can reduce redness..worth a go lol

Just try and dab a tiny bit of foundation or concealer on it, after having washed your hands thoroughly. But you must DAB it on, not rub it in, cause it'll just slide off it and colour around it, making the spot MORE visible. I'm afraid if you don't have time to pop in to the shops, then it's the only emergency method available! And DON'T touch it (as in squeeze) , it's make it worse! Alternatively, just paint your whole face red and pretend you're a tomato.

i like that tomato idea maximo lol

[kate1976]

Thanks again turkey but I have no aspirin either!! I'm hopeless aren't I?!

maximo, I'll try dabbing the concealer on, I'm hopeless with make up as I only use mascara and lip gloss usually but I do have a concealer stick so I'll give it a go, painting my face red might work too!! ;~)

Thanks again!

Try putting Ice on it, this should help take the inflammation down.

[kate1976]

Thanks kissyfur (I love that name, reminds me of the cute cartoon!) I shall get an ice pack on it straight away!

[kissyfur]

Lol my mates never believed me when I told them that there was a cartoon called Kissyfur! I used to love it!

[kate1976]

I loved kissyfur too! I think I'll go and take a trip down memory lane and look for nostalgia sites while I'm sat here icing my chin!!

make sure you go somewhere that's dark

[kate1976]

I wish it was a dark place I was going to but it's not, the stupid things would probably glow in the dark anyway!!!

I have had ice on it but now my whole chin is red and numb!! why oh why do spots come out at the wrong time?!

[angeldraws]

Try sticking a bit of tissue to it when you go out and if/when anyone asks, say you cut it shaving off your beard!!!! Then spots suddenly won't sound so bad...... ;-P
