    Ok... when I was younger and broke out bad I would often put white zinc sunscreen on them over night. Really rub it in. The zinc speeds up healing plus kinda takes the redness out of them. It also kinda dries them out. So if you aren't allergic to zinc cream try that. Sudocrem would also do the trick as it has high levels of zinc. It has to be the really thick white stuff. Goodluck! ETA: if you do this get it on a.s.a.p... the longer it's on the better. Wash it off for when you start though.

    If you have some teatree oil it works wonders on them. Put some on now & then some more when you go to bed.

    Otherwise, silly as it sounds some toothpaste over night to calm them down a bit. In the morning grab some Visine (you know the eye drops) and put that on them, it reduces redness in your eyes & works the same on pimples

    Just don't...as tempting as it might be... don't squeeze them. Save that until after the work LOL Remember that a crust is more visible. A blindy might hurt but people won't notice it as much as one that has been squeezed and bruised.

    Oh, I'm resisting... I'm going ok though because I know since they're blind nothing exciting will happen anyway. I do have a nervous pick that I have to keep in check at the moment
