DOES POPPING PIMPLES REMOVE THEM?

Dermatologists, pharmacists and beauticians always warn against popping pimples. Is popping pimples really that bad for the skin? Or does popping a pimple shorten the time it takes to clear up? In this article, we explain in detail how acne eruption initiates a process in the skin.

DOES POPPING A PIMPLE HURT THE SKIN?

Yes, popping acne is really bad for the skin, according to experts. An inflamed pimple occurs when the pores become clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, bacteria, and often pus. Before you start tightening, consider exactly what is happening under the skin. The pore where the pimple formed is already under pressure and swollen. When you squeeze a pimple, you can accidentally push all the debris deep into the follicle. This can cause the follicle wall to rupture and carry all the inflamed debris to the dermis, the lower layer of the skin.

Even if you can pull out pus and debris through the pore opening, don't assume your skin is okay anymore. because when removing the pus in the pore, you pushed the inflamed material deeper into the dermis.

SQUEEZING PIMPLES CAN WORSEN ACNE AND LEAVE SCARS.

Have you ever seen your pimple come back just a few hours after you popped it, or have a second one pop up right next to it? This is possible because squeezing pimples can make them worse. The damage occurs not just below the surface, but also on the skin as you can see it.

Popping a pimple can leave a permanent and deep scar. If you are squeezing the pimple on a papule (a pimple without a white head) type of acne, you may find that your skin becomes much more red and swollen instead of get

ting rid of it.

Popping a pimple can turn even a normal pimple into a more severe type of acne, a nodule (hard, red, painful, and deep in the skin) or acne cyst.

The most serious type of acne is acne cysts, and they are large painful inflamed lesions. Cysts develop when a membrane forms around the infection in the dermis, forming a soft, fluid-filled lump. A specialist should be consulted to pass acne cysts. Popping a pimple can have far more serious and long-term effects than a swollen pore or crusted condition. It is also the surest way to increase the likelihood of acne scarring. With every skin injury, the skin is likely to lose tissue as it heals. This is how pitted acne scars are formed. The more damage you do to the skin, the more likely it is to lose tissue.

Even if pitted scars do not form when you squeeze your pimple, dark skin patches may occur. These dark spots on the skin, called inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are caused by inflammation. Popping pimples causes inflammation, so it's possible to see hyperpigmentation due to inflammation after the pimple has healed.

WHAT TO DO INSTEAD OF POPPING A PIMPLE?

Everyone squeezes acne at some point, even knowing they shouldn't. Rarely squeezing pimples is normal, although it's not good for the skin.
