Go to the Dr's and get a shot of hydro cortisone and a prescription.
thats all u can really do
Yes go check a doctor. The doctor will give you some ointment that'll probably work. If it doesn't, guess what? You'll have to wait for itself to heal.
BUT don't scratch it. :O
well I have it now too.it SUCKS! I used Tecno last night (got it at Walgreens) Seems to have dried it up. If it's really bad, you need to go to the doc and get prednisone.
