GUYS!!!!!!!! OK so AGAIN, I had this HUUGE (cyst) pimple....And unfortunately I tried to pop it and nothing came out.. (U know what thats means).... So i had this TERRIBLE red mark on my cheek.... it was one of those wide flat red marks... really red... i was soooo depressed...
So, I tried VASELINE again... I applied a shitload about 4 times a day... i would smear it off and reapply.. I have no idea how this works (other than it keeps it moist)... but damn it works...
lol heres the whole story:
Monday night: after dinner with a friend I came home and I noticed a tiny red spot on my cheek... didnt do anything about it....
Tuesday: the pimple got a bit swollen and was now noticeable... I used some BP and went to bed...
Wednesday: the zit got bigger and redder and I tried to pop it unsuccesfully The pimple became red, swollen and sooo painful.... Applied BP the entire day and it went down a lot but it was just as red if not worse... Used some Vaseline on my face and went to bed...
Thursday: The zit was pretty much gone but the red mark was insane... huge bright red mark... Applied a shitload of Vaseline 4 or 5 times in the day... I kept on smearing it off and reapplying it. Went to bed with nothing on my face.
Friday (today): The red mark seems to be sooooooo much better.... Its not red AT ALL and it is slightly a different color from the rest of my skin. I literelly said out loud "WOW" in the bathroom... Using Vaseline 4 or 5 times today...
GUYS please give VASELINE a try.. I beg you... I know everyones skin is different but its just amazing how well its working for me (and its sooo cheap)...
I used Aquaphor which was also good, basically the same thing. I found it helped out with the red mark because the skin was always so dry there, and it kind of hydrated it I guess? :shrug:
i use neosporin on red marks and when i used to get big pimples : it was my savior 🙂
