Toothpaste just aggrivated my spots. I have found that Witch Hazel is the best cure for me personally, I recommend t for everyone to try, its super soothing and calming on red sore skin, and is also toning and will gently dry out the spot. You can use Witch face wash which is brilliant and they make a few other products which are also great. There are lots of other facewashes that combine tea tree and witch hazel together and they are effective aswell
