7 Reasons to Not Pop a Pimple …
You’ve been staring at that pimple for hours now. It catches your eye every time you walk past a mirror, and you feel like the whole world is staring at it, too. You’re so tempted to squeeze it… but you shouldn’t! Why not? Well, here are the top seven reasons why you should not pop a pimple!
1. Scarring
Popping pimples causes scarring, and that’s far worse and much more permanent than a tiny little pimple.
2. Scabs
Even if you don’t develop a scar, you’ll certainly get a nasty, crusty scab, and that’s so much less attractive, and difficult to conceal, than a pimple!
3. Infection
Squeezing or popping a pimple can easily lead to an infection. Some infections may even require medical attention, along with a goopy funny-smelling topical anti-biotic.

Popping a pimple could lead to a serios infection especailly if with the bacteria you contaminate your whole face. Some scrub to dry out those pimples at night would really help!
I find when you squeeze it, do it in the shower or put on a topical. otherwise it forms a scar a lot of the times.
And a bump ... See more is harder to coverup a lot of the times.. the zit always shows through the skin ):
Hey love you are apsolutely right!
Just try and resist it’s better going out with a pimple than popping it an you remain with a scar!
I actually made it a new year’s resolution to stop popping pimples… ... See more when I would stop to look at one I’d end up spending many minutes scrutinizing my face in front of the mirror. It started to drive me crazy. Time to stop :)
that is one resolution i’d want to keep up with. Some people can get away with popping pimples cause their skin doesnt leave any scars on it, but for me they always left ... See more marks that i’m sure i’m going to carry to my grave :(
Great resolution for this new year love,
Good luck with that!! I hope it’s working! :)
I get really irritated with pimples. Sometimes I put ... See more toothpaste on it for half an hour to an hour so it goes away quicker. It does help. It shouldn’t be over done because I have gotten mixed results. It has peeled that part of skin before.
I also know some people applied ice to a painful pimple.
