Can crushed ibuprofen and water be used to reduce the swelling/redness of a blemish?

I don't usually get blemishes and i was wondering what would get rid of this.

There's no medical proof that this one works, but I saw several forums wherein users swear by this regimen in reducing redness of blemishes fast. They say to put the mashed ibuprofen with water on the blemish like a mask then rinse after 20 minutes.

Thanks for the information. I hope it works, I will try it!
