neosporin...not just for cuts

No matter how hard I try, I cannot resist popping a pimple if and when I get one.  Last week, I had (sorry if this is a tad too TMI) a monster zit on my nose.  One of those under the skin ones.

Now, I totally know that I shouldn't have tried to pop it.  It's not good and all, it'll scar, and blah blah blah...but pick at it I did.

Nothing came of it except for me making it madder and uglier.  Plus, I definitely did some damage to the skin on top (again sorry).

It basically looked way worse than when I started.

Stupid me.

So, at this point, I couldn't really put anything on it without looking ridiculous and probably hurting like crazy.  Ugh.

Then it hit me.

It's basically a wound, right?

Why not slab a little Neosporin on it and see what happens.

So that's what I did.

Then, I am not kidding here, a little while later the swelling and redness started to go down.  By evening it was looking even tinier and way less on the crimson side.

A couple of days later...it was gone*.

Done.

Kaput.

Love it.

*Now, I'm not saying it'll work for severe cases and if yours is bad enough you might want to see a derm...but it did the trick for me.
