Hi!
I posted a while back saying that I had a sore on my head, my own fault obviously but it made me so sick of myself and i fell into a depression. Well Im kinda out of that now - my picking has totally decreased, I stopped applying lots of different lotions etc and made myself understand that I had the power to control my obsession!
soooooo i have a good tip for ya all - vaseline! I know, you wouldnt automatically think to apply this to a sore but it soothes it, moisturises it and also helps the healing! For the last week, I havent picked at all and every night(nad day when i was in the house) i applied a big blob of vaseline to my sore and esp overnight, it really helps! If theres a scab, its so much less noticable. Also I found that when i was using my face wipes the bad skin just came off when i wiped over it, revealing new refreshed skin undeneath! And it isnt as red either!
I think im onto something!
Please note though, that vaseline wont help if you keep picking and then put it in, you HAVE TO STOP picking, even of only for 4 days and honestly ull c an improvement.
Vaselines also good for dry skin so I use it round my nose etc to get rid of this.
Hope this helps some of ya! xx
