Answer 1

PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.

GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.

1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .

2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.

3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.

4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.

5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.

6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.

7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.

8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.

9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.

10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.

11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.

12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.

13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.

14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.

15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.

16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.

17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.

Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.

Answer 2

yes yes yes yes yes!!!! and having scars is worse then having the pimples believe me I have the scars from pimples i had years ago and if id just left them alone the pimple would have been gone in a week. I have dark scars and you can cover them or remove them with out lasers and loads of cash!! i have learned though if you leave the pimple till its ready then run the tap water as hot as possible dip a clean cloth in the water and hold it to the pimple for a few seconds it will open the pore then squeeze using only the fleshy fatty parts of your fingers never ever use your nails!!!

Answer 3

Not everyone gets scars from popping pimples but yes this is what causes scarring on those that do have acne scars. You sound like you still get acne and if this is the case you might want to consult the doc and get treatment for it. Remember that acne is caused by the staph bacteria and popping them tends to spread this bacteria to other parts of the face and your hands.

Answer 4

yes that is true i have a girl in my class and she picks her pimples and she has many scars But rare it doesn't happen if the pimple is little it mite not make one

Answer 5

You can get SOME scarring. But people who have a lot of pockmarks on their face are that way because of a skin disease. It's not simply the result of popping pimples.

Answer 6

if that was true, I'd look like a freak! I've had some incredible zits over the years -- things I was sure would scar me for life -- but they didn't. i have very oily skin and i've always popped, squeezed & removed offending 'things' from my face, etc.

of course, i've very gentle, my hands are always clean & I always disinfect my skin afterwards with alcohol, etc.

BTW, I have beautiful skin & the only time I ever got a 'scar' was when I didn't pop a zit & it turned into a little 'hole' on my face!

Answer 7

my parents say that when you pick your pimples you will get scars. when it is not ready don't touch it. when it is ready you would squeeze it not pick it. you can also put on pimple creams. if you don't have ask the doctor to prescribe it to you.

Answer 8

Yes, you will get scars and your pores will get larger. My face has a lot of craters now from picking my face when I was a teen. I told my daughter not to do that, now she has beautiful skin. Be patient and don't pick!!!

Answer 9

you can indeed develop scars from picking at acne. and scars are permanent, they do not ever go away.
