Picking, Popping, and Squeezing

March 21st, 2006

Ah yes, that overwhelming desire to pop a zit. It happens to everyone at some point. BUT, if you can fight the urge, you will be better off.

Manipulating blemishes can actually make them worse. Often times, the pimple will break on the inside causing a further reaction. Often times, a blemish will last longer if it is picked or squeezed and this may increase the chance of scarring.

So, if you can just wait it out, you will be happier in the end.
