How to Pop a Pimple?

February 16th, 2009

Popping pimples has been a long thread for people for decades. You’ve probably read that you shouldn’t pop pimples at all because it will ultimately lead to scarring. Other articles advice you to get rid of big white pimples, so that it will help to heal these areas of your skin much faster. And this is what we will concentrate on in this article.

First and foremost, you have to remember that the only pimples that need to be squeezed are white pimples, which almost beg you to be popped. With that said you have to prepare tools that you’re going to use. That is a sharp needle, a pack of tissues and a bottle of alcohol.

Wash your face and hands to clean up all the makeup, oils and bacteria from the space around the ready to be popped pimple. Disinfect the needle by dipping it in the alcohol and apply some of that alcohol to your fingers and the pimple and dab it with some tissues to dry the area. Now we’re ready for the job.

Lightly prick the pimple’s white surface with the tip of your needle. Take two tissues and wrap it around your index fingers or thumbs and squeeze it gently from the sides with down in motion. Don’t force it. If the pimple doesn’t produce liquid, leave it. I know that it’s one of the hardest things to do, but if you continue squeezing a pimple that’s not ready to be popped, you can only make it worse.

After the puss is squeezed out of the pore, wipe it out with an alcohol soaked tissue. The alcohol will remove most of the bacteria and will make the wound heal faster.

As has been stated above, you should only take action on the pimples that are ready to be popped. This has to be emphasized because many people try to get rid of the red pimples by squeezing them, and while these pimples don’t produce any puss people get anxious and apply even more force and as a result make really bad scars. Try to keep the space around the pimple as clean as possible and remember to leave a pimple that’s not ready to be popped.
