You just reminded me of a skin-healing trick I used to use back in my neurotic days of intractable blemish-picking: after making myself a cup of green tea, I'd empty the contents of the tea bag and stick them directly on my open sores. I'd leave the leaves on my face for 10-20 minutes or so, rinse them off, and the swelling/redness/size of the sore would be substantially diminished. If there are any pickers out there, take heed!
