i made out with this guy whose face was not cleanly shaven (lots of stubble) this morning, when i woke up, i realized that the friction had caused a big blister-like thing on my chin that keeps oozing (pus i think). i know this is really gross, sorry for the details, but i really want to know how to get rid of it quickly...it won't stop oozing and i tried putting neosporin on it but it seems to be getting worse and more noticable which is really embarrassing. any suggestions for how i can get it to heal quickly?

Its whisker burn...It will just have to heal....Sorry!....I'd let it dry out a bit though then start with the neo maybe tomorrow....Or real aloe vera if you have a plant

Yuck!!!!
Anyway, first, speaking from personal experience I was using neosporin on my face and it caused dermatitis, which is extrememly itchy..looks like a rash. So, I wouldn't reccommend using that on your face.
My best advice to you, if you are not going to go to a doctor would be to wash it off with peroxide. Try to get all the pus out of it that you can, but don't force it out. Then give it a couple of days without putting anything on it, hopefully it will dry out and heal on its own.
If you need something immediate I would tell you to go ask a pharmacist. They are very well educated. That's what I do when I need a quick fix and can't get to the doctor. They have never steered me in the wrong direction.
Good Luck

Sounds to me like he may of had a cold sore under that stubbly beard, but if this happened the day after, then it couldn't be, because cold sore develop about 3-4 day after exposed. Something I heard of when trying to dry anything related to the face, believe it or not, toothpaste. It's a drying agent, when placed on what is affected and left alone, not only will the menthol of the toothpaste numb the pain (if any) but the drying of the toothpaste will draw out what liquid is inside.

3% hydrogen peroxide straight from the bottle.
You have an infection. You might need to break the blister so the peroxide can kill the bugs.
If it doesnt burn it isnt in there. And if its oozing it definitely needs to be in there.
If this happened in 12 hours it is probably staph. Viruses take 48-72 hours. Staph HAS TO BE TREATED.
Get a new boyfriend or wash him first - probably with peroxide.

Take a raw potato, cut it in half, scrape it out a bit, let the juice drip on the blob-thing, and then take the shavings and place it inside a bandage which you place over the spot.
Sleep on your back if you can, and by morning it will have drawn out the infection.
This is an old-time country solution, but it works. I had the worst boil of my life on the back of my leg with a core like a shooter's marble in size and density get totally cleaned out just like this, with practically no traces.

that definatly isnt normal either you have an actual blister like you would get from new shoes or he gave you a lovely present...... definatly go to a doc they will be able to give you something to stop the oozing and make it heal easier with less marking or at least be able to suggest something more effective than the neo was....

Well I have heard of women getting a rash on their face from stubble, but not a big Pusey blister. Yikes, are you sure it isn't something contagious? Get to the doctor.

If it will not heal and continues to ooze fluid the likelihood is that it is infected. If topical antibiotics like bacitracin do not help you may want to consult your physician before the wound turns septic.

I dont think u should put anything on it, instead go to the doctors. By putting something on it, u might make it worse.

You need to see a dermatologist. I would try peroxide, and letting it get air (good ole oxygen), which is also in peroxide.
Let him know he needs to shave more closely and even then, try not rubbing his rough face so hard while kissing, good grief. What was he doing, trying to bond your face to his?
