Yes. Don't pop them. Not only do you risk developing a scar when said zit heals, but your fingers usually have germs and bacteria on them that could potentially make your skin worse. The only time I'd say it would be alright would be if the zit was really ready to pop (you know what I mean) and even then I'd wrap each finger with a warm/hot damp washcloth before attempting it. The heat and steam from the cloth will help open the pore and the cushion from the washcloth itself will help to prevent scarring.

YES. If you pop your zits, you'll get itchy little scabs, and then they will turn into scars if you keep messing with them. They go away faster if you just wash your face and other than that, leave them alone.

yes popping zits makes it worse! you have to stop yourself from doing it. i used proactiv-didnt help me too much. tea tree oil helped me, tho. but alot of ppl say proactiv worked for them, so it mite for u!

if your gonna pop your zits you need to make sure you get the root out. my doing this you can also scar yourself so i dont recommend doing it. creams and stuff like that just smoothes the skin and prevents spots but if you get them just try leaving them alone, they will go away eventually

yes don't popp the zit's ,they will get worse! Always wash hands before you touch the face ! pro active will take you about 2 weeks to work on the face . so don't be discuraged! just be dilligent with it
good luck

Actually if it's cystic acne then you have to pop it but it will heal over and then a huge scar remains...if it's just regular acne, then put on some OTC like clean and clear pimple cream and it will dry it out.

yes it dose make it worse it might go down quicker but it leaves a mark and the mark stays there for some tyme the best option is to let it go down itself . it also can make it bigger and red bin there done that trus me!
