Vince Is A Stud Muffin 10 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I had about 15 of those on my chin at one time. Accutane started drying those up, but in the end time is the only way to get rid of it. HOt water may make a whitehead come out and then you can pop it, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you are desperate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mischief2 1 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I agree on the tea tree oil. I use it neat, on a cotton tip, just dab it on to the spot only and leave it on. Try doing this 2-3 times a day, it dries pimples up really well. I had a pimple that wasn't too big but on my cheekbone (good for me for having 'great cheekbones' that stick out to make it more noticeable ) that arrived last Friday, I spot treated it with tea tree and added extra BP to the area and this morning it was completely gone. Clear face for me now. Yay. If it's a little whitehead I can get rid of it in one day using tea tree, it's amazing stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yakushi 0 Share Posted June 21, 2004 hmm that pimp looks the same like I normaly get on my shoulders, that would suck to have on the face yeh thee tree oil seems the perfect thing for that. I normaly just soak it with 10% bp knowing it won't help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rewindthemovie 0 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I usually get Kiehl's tea tree oil. They are very reliable, and all of their products are awesome (from experience). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t70 0 Share Posted June 22, 2004 where do u buy it from?.. Online? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mischief2 1 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Yup, you can buy tea tree oil online. I'm in Australia and the stuff is so popular here it's sold almost anywhere. I use one by a company called Thursday Plantation. But you should be able to get it online easily, any online pharmacy/chemist would probably be good. Or just try a search on the internet, I bet a lot of companies will come up. Some sites sell tea tree oil exclusively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
t70 0 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yesterday I picked a Tea tree oil bottle from savon. I had small pimple forming, applied the stuff on that and to my surprise the spot had turned into a white head bit lrger than the orginal spot, Is it normal with tea tree oil?
