Teenage angst at 31

I woke up this morning with a horrible white-headed spot above my top lip. Am I 16 again? I remember being told you need to use heat to ‘draw spots out’ so I soaked a flannel in hot water and then held it on my face, and all I did was burn my lip. Then I remembered another old tip which is to put toothpaste on the spot, because as it dries out it pulls out the infected shite and heals it up quicker. So I tried that.
Trouble is I forgot to wash it off before I went to work, and it wasn’t until lunchtime that someone decided to point it out to me. So I’d spent all morning serving customers and talking to staff with a big dollop of Colgate stuck to my face.
Thanks everyone.
