Why I can’t just pop a pimple

Pimple is annoying and all of us want to pop that pimple. But that not a good way. The problem occur when most pimples are popped, they ooze a little bit of pus(white cells that eat up bacteria), and more of it gets pushed below the skin.
Pus is pretty inflammatory and if it gets into the oil gland that lives at the base of the hair follice, oil gets released below the skin, causing further inflammation. If enough oil gets released you can wind up with a tract, or highway, connecting one hair follicle and oil gland structure to the one, causing your skin to cave in a bit, making a pizza face and eventually causing scarring.

There is an alternative to squeezing that won’t cause your pimple to spread. If you take a sterilized needle, you can poke it through the very tiptop of the pimple and let the pus out. Never penetrate deeply; you don’t want a gusher. If it hurts, then the skin isn’t dead and it’s not ready to lance. No squeezing; that defeats the purpose and will slow down healing. Be careful not to jab, rip or poke. Then wash with soap and water.

Warning : It is better to have dermatologist pierce the zit with it needle, because you do risk scarring if you do it the wrong way. While the chance of causing major damage by lancing a garden-variety pimple is small, you do have to be careful to keep the area sterilized and to not damage neighboring tissue. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after touching pimples to avoid spreading the infection to other pores.
