that’s what i hear too. well, for one, if you pop them all that nastiness that was once inside your pimple is now oozing on your face, haha. that ooze will cog up more pores and you’ll get more pimples.

i’ve heard that it can damage your skin, it can cause “craters.” i’d rather not find out the hard way.

i just wash my face with regular soap, and if i got a zit, it usually goes away after a day or two anyway, no point in bustin that sucker.

technically popping pimples isn’t bad.. what’s bad is when you don’t do it correctly.. and seeing as most people don’t do it right.. it’s 95% not a good idea.  If you go to the dermatologist they have the appropriate tools and know exactly what to do as far as how to pop them and how to clean it after.  So really.. i’d only let your dermatologist do it.

Like, I only do it if it starts to hurt my face.


<GROSS STORY>

 


One day, I awoke, and had a really nasty pimple on my forhead. Normally, I dont get pimples, and this was my first one in a month or two. Anyways, this one was freaking huge and nasty! It was uber red. Anyways, I went to pop it, and when I did, it splattered all over the bathroom window. Then it started to bleed. Then, I went….WTF??!!

The end.

Juicy!  👏  Thanks for warning though.  Those are those big juicy ones with super-white heads you can see from down the block. 

I don’t care what my dermatogist said!!!1!1!!!one!!!111

What is even more unsettling is they have people that know how to ‘correctly’ pop pimples and will follow through—-  :o

What does that look like?  I’m picturing some kind of plastic needle with a loop on it to let the juice squirt through.  And rubber gloves.  :think:
