Part 2!
I have a few different scars and pigmented areas that i have treated with Bio oil and i have honestly found it excellent.
Back to dealing with the spot itself. They usually recommend not "going delving" with spots as it causes damage to the skin and tissue (causing scarring as you have found!).
However these are the rules about it if you do have to!! (as told by a beauty therapist.
If the spot is blind- ie doesnt have a head, leave it alone. NEVER go excavating. Try applying a hot compress - bread poultice, or just a hot flannel. That should help the spot come to the surface sooner.
If you do have a white spot with an obvious head, and you cant bear to leave it to dry (with spot treatment), or it is stretching the skin painfully, then follow the below steps.
1)Have a warm shower, or use a hot flannel on the spot
2)Wash your hands and get some lint free tissue paper.
3) Sterilise a needle in alcohol, or over a flame.
4) Carefully and slowly pierce the head of the spot with the needle, as close to the centre as you can. Try and make two separate entries. DONT pull or try and open it all up.
5)Using the tissue, gently press down on the area around the spot. You can use pressure, but not so much that your nails dig into the skin.You should find that some of the pus comes out of the hole. Carefully dab it away.
6) If no more comes out, stop, leave it to rest for at least 15 mins.
7)Reapply the hot flannel
8)You may then find that repeating step 5 gets out some more.
9)Dont be tempted to squeeze, even if you see a "core". Once the surrounding pus is gone, apply some spot treatment at least morning and evening.
That should help dry the core out, and it should eventually come off with the new skin as it heals.
Hope that helps!
