Is It Bad To Pop Acne?

Question

My science teacher says its really bad to pop acne he says the best way is to use a local treatment (i.e. Pro-Active, Clearisil) or a perscription from your doctor. Why does popping the Acne do to your body?

Answer 1

Popping a zit is very bad as it causes future scarring. Also, when you pop a zit, it spreads the acne causing bacteria meaning you'll get more acne. If you must pop your zit, first apply a hot, wet cloth to the area to make it easier. After you do pop it, make sure to wash the area and apply a topical treatment containing benzol peroxide or salyicide (sp?) acid. Good luck.

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

Answer 3

I was told a long time ago by famous makeup guy Way Bandy (he's dead now, RIP Way!) that if you DID IT THE RIGHT WAY it was OK.
Wipe the area with rubbing alcohol. Wash your hands with anti-bacterial soap and hot water. GENTLY squeeze AROUND the zit, not like right on it, but a few mm away from it, and ONLY if it has a "head" on it. Pop it, mop it with rubbing alcohol AGAIN, and ice it down with an ice cube (until it "burns", off and on for a few sec here and there)--this will remove the redness and speed healing in the area.

KEEP IT CLEAN
if you cause blood or rip the skin around it, you're not doing it right and STOP!

There's also "tools" you can buy, "comedo removers" from Tweezerman work really well.
Good luck.
