PIMPLE POPPING INTRODUCTION

Pimple Popping image
We tend to think the only way that we can possibly get rid of acne is by popping zits. This might be a short-term solution and we might derive a little satisfaction from a supposedly successful zip popping fest. However, what you may not realize is that you quite possibly are making things worse. For example, if your zit popping is done wrong, you could ultimately spread the infection to other parts of your face that are not experiencing acne. Unfortunately, when this occurs you have just opened the acne door wider and invited it to take up residency elsewhere.

Another situation that screams, "leave it alone!" is when you are able to see a red bump, but not able to see underneath the surface of the skin, the pus that is yellowish in color. It is imperative that you keep your hands off those pimples. This is not the time to pick and pop. It is too soon and skin damage and/or scarring is inevitable.

WHAT CAUSES ACNE - OVERVIEW

Before we get down to it, here's a quick overview of what causes acne to form. A pimple is nothing more than a hair follicle, which has become clogged with dead skin cells, bacteria, and excess oil (sebum). When the pore becomes clogged, whiteheads, blackheads, papules (pimples without pus), and pustules (pimples with pus) begin to form. Bacteria is the culprit that causes acne to look red, inflamed, and irritated.

Whiteheads are known as closed comedones, which are nothing more than a pore that is completely blocked without any access in or out. A blackhead is also known as an open comedone because of the opening on the top of the blackhead. The sebum (oil) located on the top of the blackhead is exposed to the air, which in turn causes oxidation and creates the black center.

POP THAT ZIT

Now, we all know that it is best to leave a pimple alone, however, who out there follows that advice 100% of the time? I believe I can safely say no one or next to no one. Rather than clawing and digging at your face and making things worse, you might as well invest a little time and learn how to pop that zit properly. Obviously, you didn't do a search for pimple popping because you were interested in keeping your hands off your face or other parts of your body.
