I was always told by my Mom that turpentine was good for treating emerging pimples and to remove soreness from minor wounds. Using it on pimples always would relieve soreness overnight and would dry up the pimple causing it never to form. I have also used it to treat the pain from ingrown toenails. I would caution on using on large areas as it can have pretty nasty side effects. To this day, I keep a small bottle in my medicine cabinet.
