I've got a red spot bulged out, hot and itchy about the size of a nickle, in-between my shoulder blades. It's quite painful. I just muddled a piece of garlic to a paste and mixed it with an OTC ointment containing benzocaine (which only relieves pain). After a hot shower I spread paste on a bandage and applied. I just don't know how long to leave it on. It's 8pm, I'll wait till morning and remove; I'll report back with a comment to let you all know how it goes.
