Is it true that putting a dab of toothpaste on spots overnight will bring down the redness and flatten out the bump?
Thank you!
(Sorry but I rate honestly!)

Some people are probably going to tell you it works but personally, I don't think it does. If you want to bring down the bumps and redness then go by acne cream, maybe your docter can give it to you over the counter but it's up to you.
