Please give me your tips on getting rid of a tic.

DS has one under his eye. I tried tweezers, but its very small, so hard to get hold of.
I tried smothering it in tea tree to see if it would back out, but its still there.

I'm about to go look for vasoline (hopefully I have some) to see if that will smother it out, but other than waiting for him to sleep & trying the tweezers again, I don't know what else to do.

Its very close to his eye, so I can't put anything on it he might rub into his eye, & his skin around it is going red.

He's just crashed out, so I'll smother it & hope for the best. I'm not willing to try the tweezers til he's had more sleep.

Please help!!
