Morning. I woke up yesterday with a blind pimple under my nose on my upper lip. I slept over night with toothpaste on it. Than this morning I awoke and my top lip is huge and the pimple hurts so bad. How can I make it go away fast. I usually don't touch my face and they go away. I can barely talk or smile! Help!?
I would keep a possibility of bacterial infection of the hair follicle/furuncle. If I was the treating doctor I would have started you on oral antibiotics e.g penicillin or cephalosporin group of drugs for a week.
An OTC pain killer e.g ibuprofen once or twice daily, would help you symptomatically by decreasing the pain and inflammation.
An OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin ointment can be applied, twice daily.
regards
