Clean & Clear, Proactive work the best in my oppinion. It takes away the bumps and keeps your skin in great condition.
when you get the urge to pick and pop just clean your face and it will make you feel better. Trust me it works

I know how you feel and it's really tough - I feel the same way - I would rather get it out of my skin then leave it be.
I can only suggest that you get out of the house and be around people more often - it's when you are idle or alone that you have the opportunity.
When you are home watch a movie and tuck your hands between your legs.
If you feel the urge to squeeze rather brush your teeth, wash you face, apply toner and moisturizer and go for a walk.
Just start trying getting into the habit of rather do anything else besides touching and squeezing.
I know it's hard - good luck

When you pick or pop your acne you are potentially scaring your skin. Imagine the many years and skin treatments it will take to smooth out your skin again. Use toothpaste or visine to dry out the blemishes. Visine is good spot treatment during the day since it is clear. Or use a blemish treatment found at walmart or a drug store. Make sure you wash and tone your face every morning and every night. If you have dry skin then not moisturizing could be the reason you are breaking out. Drinking water also flushed out the toxins in your body.

I feel the same as you...I have a hard time not picking mine too. I started using Proactiv and my dermatologist put me on Zoloft to help me stop picking and popping.
I still occasionally do, and then hate myself for doing it. It just takes willpower. When you feel like you need to...just distract yourself with something else. You will feel good about your decision the next time you look in the mirror and you don't have red swollen bumps all over!
Good luck : )

you must stop picking. picking can result in scarring and like you said more acne. this is because you can spread bacteria to other parts of your face. tie your hair up at night and change your pillow case offten. you also might want to clean your phones with rubbing alcohol. this will eliminate bacteria from rubbing on your face. wash your face often and avoid touching your face. i also suggest a facial, if you can. do not think about picking your face. this can lead to you doing it more.

if u cant then just discipline yourself or give yourself consequences everytime you do that
