Oh, MistyFying's story about the aloe made me remember one. When I was 13, I got what looked like a big pimple on my cheek. I never got pimples, so I picked it. Turns out it wasn't a pimple, god knows what it was! But it spread like wildfire.
Within a week my entire face was covered in huge red angry sores. I wouldn't leave the house and was so scared of scarring. Antibiotics did nothing, but one of mum's friends brought around an aloe vera off cut. I rubbed it on my face twice a day - it was sticky and gross, but in 2 days they started going away, 5 days later they were tiny marks, and in the end they never actually scarred. Could work once he doesn't need the dressing any more!
