Leave it alone! You have opened a sore and it needs to heal. It may be infected so it may be worth a trip to the docs if it does not clear up. I am the same when I get spots but mine have never got infected. Try putting a bit of TCP on it or other antiseptic and wear a paper bag til it has disapeared, only joking but if it does not clear get a profesional opion. Good luck x And I would not recommend putting make upover it as make up generally contains lots of germs (yack) and that may make it worse x

Use cotton balls and dab the area with Hydrogen Peroxide. Then apply Neosporin to the area to promote healing. Quit picking at the site. You should see results in 3 to 5 days.

It will heal over time, like after a few weeks. Use foundation makeup (the liquid kind) and it'll cover it, so people will barely notice it.

Ugh. No thank you I think I will pass, and your face will heal more slowly if you pick off the scabs... Ugh. I'm going to PUKE.

Neosporin and cocoa butter are the best, anything with vitamin E and aloe vera works well too. use makeup
