I briefly read an article about people who try and make themselves have acne or who are obsessed with popping pimples. Is there a diagnosed disorder for this? I just think it's kind of silly, wondered if anyone else had heard of it. What is the motivator for this person?

The world is full of different people. That is what makes it so very interesting. Yeah it is an abnormal thing but if it isn't your gig then don't hang with people that are into it. If you are curious about it, seek out someone that has the fetish and see what makes them tick. Perhaps post another question here to see if you can seek out those types of people.
Popping pimples for women is a grooming thing. Look at monkeys for example, the mother is constantly grooming her young. It is a basic instinct that humans try to bury due to the unacceptable social aspects of it. Men instinctively don't have as strong of an instinct. So I think you will find it is more popular with women than with men. However, if a man thinks he can utilize anything for sex he will do it. The best scenario, instinctively would be to have an acne invested male with a female that has a high instinct of grooming (but without the vanity that normall is associated with it).
So next time your mom licks her hand and fixes your hair. Just realize it is an instinct she is acting on and don't be too hard on her.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
