It's meant to dry them out!. personally the best thing i've found for bites is to take antihistamines and apply diluted lavender oil!. it takes the sting right out!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it's true!. The toothpaste "dries" out the spot thus causing quicker healing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No idea !Www@Answer-Health@Com

Toothpaste contains an astringent!. This can help to dry up spots!. An astringent lotion designed for the job will do it better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My cousin uses toothpaste on her spots, she says it nips a bit but it drys them out and they go back down =)
I use a thing called a spot pen - its from superdrug and as soon as i feel a spot coming up i just roll it over where i feel it and its gone! =D xWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes it will i done it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Healthy eating, fresh air & plenty of water helps to reduce or abolish spots!.!.!.!.!.!.although,
toothpaste is supposed to help dry them out over time!. It only needs to be applied in small amounts and left on for a max of 10 mins!. Then wash off!.!.!.!.!.my brother tried it once before goin to sleep, made a weird mess on the pillow case,let alone his neck!! Lol
I agree that witch hazel is better, it's a more natural cure for reducing the redness caused by inflamation!. There's a pretty gd range of products available in various stores which contain witch hazel!.!.!.!.kind to animals as well as ur skin =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should wash them with soap and water and leave them alone!. The more you mess with them, the more the likelihood of infection!.

If you simply must!.!.!.!.an antibiotic ointment will prevent infection!. If it's a bite and not a pimple, then there is no need to "dry" it out!. The bump from say a mosquito bite is your body's histaminic reaction to the bite; ergot, a bit of cortisone cream for the itching will do more than toothpaste!. Incidentally, the wounds itch once they dry out so toothpaste sounds more like an irritant than anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with witch hazel for spots!. I remember rubbing toothpaste on love bites when I was a teenager (many years ago) - it didn't work for them either!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think witch hazel works better for that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
