but now what
help
should i pop or just leave them then?

cuz when they have a white top it painful

Answer 1

It's okay to pop them. But a pin or (using two Q-tips to squeeze) is best - you don't want to use your fingernails and cause scarring. Once you pop them, be sure to use witch hazel or an astringent to clean it up and let it dry.

Drink plenty of water (this helps cleanse the body from the inside out). And try to get a good cleansing regime ----you may want to try Proactive solution or something similar.

Once you've popped, don't pick at it - it will make it worse.

Good luck!

Answer 2

NO NO NO NO NONONONONONO
NEVER POP PIMPLES!
NEVER EVER EVER EVER
it leaves scars
and if your hands are dirty or whatever it can get infected
which makes your face even WORSE
NEVER POP THEM!

my best advice:
wash your face twice a day with acne products
but first actually
i'd go to a doctor and ask for acne medicine
cuz that helps THE most
even though acne isn't curable
because they give you antibiotics that kills the germs
then after using it and if your face is cleared
i'd use
noxzema triple clean blackhead cleanser with salicylic acid and acne medication
acne free is okay too
u can use medication with these:
Benzoyl peroxide – destroys P. acnes, and may also reduce oil production

Resorcinol – can help break down blackheads and whiteheads

Salicylic acid – helps break down blackheads and whiteheads. Also helps cut down the shedding of cells lining the hair follicles

Sulfur – helps break down blackheads and whiteheads.

i suggest you do NOT use soaps
but if you do, dove is probably the mildest
using soap is bad because it can make it worse unless the face is really oily

to prevent it :
try avoiding touching your face often
dirty hands can cary dirts and other dirty things and if your face touches it, it can get cloged up and all

Answer 3

Oh my god pls stop...dont pop pimples infact dont even touch them...just keep washing us face with pure water and use a good face wash twice a day...use an anti pimple cream...dont apply any cream at night as the skin needs to breathe...once the pimples are gone use a cream that takes out stains...if u pop them it would leave horrible stains on ur face which re very difficult to go....pls pls drink alots of water and have fresh fruits..avoid oily food and caffiene...all the best

Answer 4

It's best no to pop them. Those that you do pop could turn into scars, slight dents in your face. People that had bad acne problems are obivous due to their moon-like face full of craters. Just wash your face regularly and frequently and they should go away and stop coming so often. There's medication for this if you have more pimples and zits than normal. Talk to your doctor like the commercials say. lol

Answer 5

I wouldn't suggest popping pimples. They can leave horrible scars, and in the long run you'll most likely regret it.

I have a pimple problem as well in the t-zone area on my face. [area between your eyebrows]

A product I would suggest that has worked for me is Clean & Clear Advantage. You can go to your local WalMart & find it for about $18.00 not including tax. It contains a facial rinse [step 1], a moisturizer [step 2], and spot treatment [step 3]. I've had it for not even a week and I'm starting to see results. It's cleared my face of pimples incredibly!

I absolutely love the spot treatment. You find a pimple and you put it on it and lightly rub it in. You can apply it 1-3 times daily, and see redness and the pimple itself start to go away within 24 hours.

This works for me, I'm quite unsure about you, but it's worth a try!! I thought it was well worth my $20! Good luck!

Answer 6

I think you shouldn't pop your pimples because if you on touching it. It might get worse you get all the germs on it. An also it'll leave the scars back. Just use Clean and Clear product it will keep your face clean and clear.

Answer 7

only pop the ones with the white stuff on the top. if they're not white on the top, those are the deep ones and those are the ones that could leave scars.

Answer 8

I think it would be more painful to pop them until they blead then just let them be. Plus if you pop them they will just cause a scab, which will most likely leave a scar. Just leave them alone and let them heal themselves.

Answer 9

ahhhhhhhhhh never pop your pimples, especially the way you've been doing it. it'll leave nasty looking scars. if you have a really big one try to put some ice on it to decrease the swelling. use a cream with benzoyl peroxide. that helps.

Answer 10

I think you should only pop (carefully!) those ones that are huge and really painful. But not the other ones- just let those run their course.

Hope this helps! :)
