If you need latex in a hurry and can't find a costume shop, try the local medical supply store and ask for Duo surgical adhesive--it's basically thinned latex, with some other adhesives added. The drugstore also has smaller tubes of Duo eyelash adhesive (get the Clear version!) which is basically the same stuff.
You can smear it on your face and let it dry, then rub the surface of the latex until it breaks, giving you a blistery look; you can then apply fake blood or red makeup inside the blister and it looks all grody and yucky.
