Hey guys, I was curious if any of you have some ways that would help reduce the pain of acne. Right now I have a bump right under my nose and it hurts like a bastard. It's been there for about a week now and seems to just be getting worse. It's not really visible to anyone but me, not much redness yet, it just hurts whenever I move my mouth or nose. Is there anything I can do to reduce the inflammation/swelling and pain?
Thanks.
ibuprofen works, as well as tynenol. Even though Tynenol isn't marketed as anti-inflammatory, it does seem to keep the swelling down, which thus lessens the temptation to pick.
A simple ice bag wrapped in a wash cloth has saved my skin a few times from those nasty, deep sores that you can't really see but you can feel. Those are the worst!
