Zit Question?

Question

Is it bad to pop pimples? Can it cause scarring?

Answer 1

Mainly popping pimples is bad because people use their hands and nails which gets more bacteria on your face and nails can tear the skin.

But there are better ways to get rid of a zit. There are extractors that work really well. If properly cleaned after each use it want add bacteria or cause scarring.

Tweezerman makes a good extractor. It extracts blackheads too. You can get it at Walgreen's or I'm sure any store like that

Answer 2

its very bad actually
it can cause scarring and infection

i had horrible acne too and i found the perfect stuff

HERES WHATS GOING ON
we just learned about this in anatomy

your sebacious gland (your oil gland) is getting clogged, and this forms a white head. Well, when this happens in open air, it turns black causing a black head, and when the blackhead gets infected, it causes a pimple. an active infection is what is known as acne

THE BEST PRODUCT for BLACKHEADS and acne
Its been proven
is called ACNEFREE, it clears the sebaceous gland and dries up the pores. you can get it almost anywhere and it works great for everyone i know who uses it
it comes in 3 steps, but i also purchased the 4th step, called ther acne and blackhead terminator. It is prescription quality, but much cheaper

its like proactive only better

i really hope this helps

Answer 3

It's not bad if you do it correctly. You should only pop white heads. What you need to do is cleanse the area with a anti-bacterial soap and warm water. Gently squeeze the pimple, do NOT force it. If it pops, tissue off the pus and apply a antiseptic to close the pores.

Answer 4

It causes scarring if you force it to pop before its ready. you should also never use your nails. Try and squeeze zits with 2 ear swabs to prevent infection and scarring. If it doenst squeeze between them, it isnt ready yet

Answer 5

The reason they tell you not to pop pimples is because if you get something dirty (your hands) into your pour, it could cause infection. As long as your hands are clean, it shouldn't be a problem

Answer 6

yes...dont pop.....try this on acne:
