Stop squeezing the pimples and they won't be red. You can get some kind of black head tape that pulls them off instead of squeezing them. You should wash your face and if you have the pimples break open just put a little peroxide on it with a cotton ball. That might help kill the bacteria. There are facial masks too that might help clean your pores. Never go to bed with makeup on your face, as you face need to breathe. Good luck. I had acne too, it is really the pits.

I use pro active as well and like it.
I too have issues with constant squeezing. Make sure you wash your face every night before going to bed, and every morning.
I try my hardest to stay away from touching my face because your hands are the number one reason you get sick (infection control), and cause infections and breakouts. So make sure you practice good handwashing.
Keep busy and keep your hands off your face, that's all I can really say. When I don't think about it, I don't touch it, and I find I have less breakouts.

I have the same problemo. I have even researched people that cut themselves thinking I was sick. I have noticed the times I pick and the mood I'm in. I think there are some things to examine for me to stop doing it completely.
I think that's the key...ask yourself some questions
When do I do it?
Is there a common emotion I feel before and during my picking?
or, do you just like seeing the really gross stuff pop out of your skin...but hate the damage left behind.
All in all...the pair of us need to stop. I'm older now and there is long term damage to the skin...I promise, I look at it every day. Time for Micro Derm Abrasion!

I no the feeling. Everytime I do it I'm telling myself not to but I can't stop. I think it's like some people bite their nails.
