Bag Balm is wonderful for MANY things - and I know its in our WalMart here ! Neat container, black and white like cows ! LOL Not only soaking in warm tub will help, but putting warm compresses will help it come to a head and burst. OUCH.........yukkkkky pain for sure ! Hope u soon get relief. And - just a thought - but if the plastic surgeon told you what causes them, would it sorta make sense not to continue doing what causes them ?
