I am not a woman who was ever overly obsessed about acne. To be completely honest though, I never had much and to worry about. As our private lives are now mostly public, (and everyone carries a smartphone with instant capacity to not only take unflattering pictures, but to post them online as well) I can see this could be a bigger deal now than a decade ago. If you have ever used blister bandages you may already have what you need in your medicine cabinet.
Key Points:
- 1Hydrocolloids are a special type of bandages that absorb excess fluid, like oil and pus, which can speed healing time.
- 2The rubbery, translucent bandages are frequently sold for blister healing, although they’re also used by medical professionals for more serious injuries, like pressure ulcers.
- 3While the specially made hydrocolloid acne dots can run up to $30 for a couple dozen single-use dots, a pack of full-size hydrocolloid bandages (which can then be cut into dozens of smaller segments) typically costs around $8.
