Best Answer

A good natural remedy that I know of is to use Tea Tree Oil, which they sell at almost all drug stores. Just apply a bit of it with a Q-Tip to the area about three times a day as needed. You may have to dilute it slightly with water if you find it to be too strong for your skin. It can in some people cause a reaction, but this is quite rare.
