I have one on my face. Small, but I know they can grow bigger.

I looked it up online and read that tea tree oil could dry them up and remove them. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now and sure enough, with a bit help from me, it LOOKS as if it has flaked off, or at least most of it.

A dermatologist told me to use Vaseline and a loofah; haven't tried that yet. At least the smell wouldn't be so strong!

I'm allergic to the smell I'm afraid. My eyes swell and itch, and I sneeze. Even if I just smell it on someone else.
