This is exactly what I do to mine and it does work. Alum is used in pickling so it’s found on the spice aisle at the supermarket. Before I go to bed, I wet a q-tip, dip it in the alum and dab it on. It hurts alot and makes my face go :eek: but then I go to bed (trying not to slobber it off) and in the morn it’s always much better if not gone altogether. It’s like it dries it up or something.
BTW, Dread, I’ve never met anyone else who uses alum. Maybe we’re from the same freakish family… :o
mmm…
