The Ratt’s Story

So, long story short...
The Ratt made the mistake of
Aggitating a blemish on the cusp of my lip to Blimpsize!
My Advice to You is
Dont use Abbreva If you don't have coldsores!
Here's the whole story
Ok, so here's the story. I got one of those blemishes that stay under the skin and never surface and hurt really bad, right on the edge of my bottom lip. So in the process of trying to pop it, I busted a blood vessel in my lip, which caused it to become swollen a bit. after two days of throbbing, I couldn't stand it no more so I asked one of my friends who is a pharmacist at cvs what to do, and she told me to put abbreva on it. i told her I don't have cold sores but she persisted. so i put in on and the next morning my lip was swole up like the good year blimp. I couldn't even put my bottom lip over the top. so i went to the walk n clinic, and 100 bucks later, the gave me a shot in the ass and my lip deflated instantly like a popped balloon. the Picture is hilarious! (not disgusting)

Amazing what a shot in the buttocks can do. Good your lip is back to normal.
I must say that your pharmacist friend must not know how Abbreva works... b/c you're right, it's used for cold sores and just that. Just for those who want to know how it works, it keeps the herpes simplex virus from entering your healthy lip cells and replicating (causing that cold sore)... so it's more of a preventative thing. I would say for your blemish, the best over the counter medication (before you popped it) is anything with benzoyl peroxide (it dries up the pimple, as well as kill the bacteria it is most likely caused by). Once you popped it, it probably got infected and the only thing I would think you can do (if you didn't go to the doc) is put some Neosporin on it, and maybe take an aspirin or Advil for the swelling/pain. Hope that sounds helpful...
