    Try a really hot compress (as hot as you can stand it!!) - i just got rid of a massive blindy and it took 3 days to come to a head and was sooooo painful - but once it came to a head and i drained it its pretty much disappeared - try not to squeeze it as it will spread the infection!!!

    Yep the hot compress usually works a treat.

    Regarding a concealer try a "green" concealer. Many brands make one, it's probably best to go to one of the cosmetic counters at Myer or David Jones. The green colour covers the red perfectly and once your foundation and powder is applied you won't see any colour at all.

    Good luck - here's hoping your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be. xx

    Thanks girls...

    I normally just pop some tea tree oil on it before bed and the next morning it's either gone right down or a head has appeared... but not this time.

    Windex? Metho? I'm too scared Limey... will it burn the skin around it??

    Krisp, I was thinking the green concealer. I can't believe how red it is!!

    ETA: it's not my wedding, thank goodness. My BIL is getting married, but I don't want to be the one in the photos with the massive zit on her chin

    Eyedrops. They take the redness out, and make it easier to cover. Three times a day until Sat!

    Lol no not at all... Use cotton wool or a make up pad like you would nail polish remover and dab it on. It works.
