I'm away on vacation soaking up the sun and got a lovely yet small red bump above my lip! I've left it be for a few days and it's gotten more icky... but still little!
What do you all think of my bright idea to put toothpaste on it overnight 🙈?!

No no no no no. If you have nothing else I would just use neosporin

Nooo. toothpaste will do nothing, but irritate it. try steaming your face or putting a hot wash cloth on it.

No, be nice to your skin :(
Warm compresses, aloe vera, spot treatments, neosporin after you pop it.

Toothpaste works wonder if you have pimples - I always let it stay overnight n next morning it's half treated!

Bwahahaha! Everyone's right, toothpaste is a "no-no"
But
I do it, ha ha, only because I so rarely get an actual zit that I have to contend with and when I do I want that sucker gone fast! It does work, but only if it's got a head to it.
Yours doesn't sound like it's at that stage anyway, and let's be better than my bad behavior! Do what these gals say, although I personally would have to skip the neosporin, I have an allergy to it.

As everyone screams no at you XD let me tell you that I have very sensitive and acne prone skin and I do use toothpaste occasionally. You really shouldn't but it can work on some people and if it's the only thing you have it say to go for it.

Toothpaste will only damage and dry out your skin.
