It sounds weird but a slice of raw potato makes a good cool compress to bring blindies to a head. You can also use a cool wet cloth. Both are taking the heat and inflammation out and helping it to start healing. But a small slice of potato is more convenient as it can be held to your face with a bandaid and doesn't drip.
It might take a few applications but you should quickly notice any swelling or redness going down (try like 15 mins)
Heat is a symptom of the inflammation.
The patch had disappeared, I might be too sweaty/hairy for it.
Yeah, I think I tried one once but they don't stick well
