acne question, help?

Question

Hi, i have some acne whiteheads that is lik begging to pop, as in really begging. Even a very very slight squeeze, with no pressure, can cause the stuffs to come out. So does it safe to give a very slight squeeze and let the stuff out? or just leave it alone? Cos if i leave it alone, it tend to get even bigger and scarier. thanks!

i dont need any face products i just wanna know if it is safe or okay.

Answer 1

If the whiteheads look juicy and ripe, then it is okay to pop them, then use an alcohol wipe afterwards to ward off infection.

I had my dermatologist explain it to me this way: Zits are basically debris left over after the white blood cells fight skin infections. The pus is basically garbage; and you don't want garbage hanging out on your face now, do you? So, my world-renowned dermatologist said that it is okay to pop those whiteheads; just be sure to use an alcohol pad or astringent afterwards so that they don't get infected.

Popping them will only make it worse. I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer better then fifteen times. Often, the person who voted it the best answer was amazed at how well it worked, even those who had severe cases of acne. I'll copy and paste it below.

Use a hot compress on it, and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours.

Here are some of the previous comments I got from those who voted it as the best answer,

Answer 5

Its safe but you'll chance scarring ur face or leaving a indent for the future when it heals. I use to pop mine when I was a teen, not to many marks came from it, Just pop em, especially if they are ready like you described - if you pop them early you will most likely get a scar from it

Answer 6

All you have to do is wet your face with hot water.
Then apply the acne cream or use the pads or what you use to clean your face with.
Then after you wash that clean it off with cold water and use a washed towel to dry it off.

The hot water helps open the pores and the cold water closes them back up.

Answer 7

oh yes hun! you can pop them!
Just try to do it with something other than your hands, the oils from them will only cause more acne!

Don't be afraid to pop them, getting those built up toxins out is a good thing, even though your body will naturally push them out, speeding up the process won't hurt you (or your skin) at all!

hope I helped and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Answer 8

You should pop it. Then get olive oil and wash it with your face to relieve the pain. The oil will cleanse your pores the longer you leave it on, so leave it (or any oil) for as long as possible.

Answer 9

If you pop them, clean it right away, as the puss stuff will spread and will cause more acne.

Answer 10

yes you should pop them!
clean your hands first..
