For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have fairly clear skin, but my spots are pretty stubborn and hang around for a while too. I use Germolene Antiseptic Ointment on them, seems to do the trick and my mum always used it when she was young too. It's good for spots with heads and those horrible red painful ones that just lurk. The only thing is you can't really wear it during the day, you'd be best sticking it on at night because it's a bit pink and shiney.
As far as healing/ scarring goes if you buy those Vitamin E capsules and split them but rub them into your skin they prevent scarring. Apparently, Cocoa Butter is also very good for that but i have never tried it.
I don't really know a lot about acne, but if I have a stubborn spot (especially those 'empty' red sore ones) I put a dab of toothpaste on it overnight which tends to dry it out and it clears up quicker.
