I guess I don't have to bother lying down at home and taking cold compresses. I went out and went for a walk, but my whole face was just a cold compress. It wasn't even a cold compress, so it felt like it was frozen... I wrapped it up warmly and went out to the environment, but when I came home, it was frozen lol. If I feel like I need to use a compress, I can just go for a walk. It seems like it will work
