MSc. Thai Thanh Yen, Department of Dermatology - Cosmetic Dermatology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, said that most dermatologists advise us not to squeeze pimples because it can increase the risk of infection from bacteria on our hands or from skin care staff who do not perform the technique properly, do not ensure effective sterilization, or manipulate the pimple too roughly, which can easily cause trauma to the skin. This increases the risk of leaving dark spots, scars, and longer lasting scars.
Some types of acne below we need to consider not to squeeze.
Dermatologists advise against popping pimples because it can increase the risk of infection from bacteria on your hands or the skin care professional's.
Cystic acne
Cystic acne is a large, painful, pus-filled inflammatory pimple. Squeezing a cyst can lead to more serious infection, increasing the risk of scarring and dark spots. Cystic acne is often deep under the skin, so squeezing it not only damages the surface but also spreads bacteria to other areas of the skin.
Cystic acne
Cystic acne is a type of acne that usually hides deep within the skin, forming a red, swollen bump. The skin inflammation that comes with cystic acne can hinder the healing process and often leaves permanent scars. Squeezing cysts not only increases the risk of infection, but can also cause permanent damage to the skin.
Blackheads and whiteheads
Blackheads and whiteheads are non-inflammatory acne, but we should still note that we should not squeeze them arbitrarily. Squeezing blackheads and whiteheads incorrectly can damage the skin, enlarge pores and lead to inflammation. In addition, squeezing acne can spread bacteria, causing other types of inflammatory acne.
Understanding and avoiding squeezing acne will help you protect your skin better.
Hidden acne
Hidden acne lies deep under the skin, not visible on the surface. Trying to squeeze hidden acne will damage and scratch the skin, causing inflammation and becoming worse. Hidden acne often needs to be treated with special methods to deeply clean the pores and prevent bacteria from growing.
Dr. Thai Thanh Yen advises that squeezing pimples on your own can cause serious consequences for your skin. Instead, you should see a dermatologist for advice and scientific acne treatment.
According to Dr. Thanh Yen, using the right skin care products, keeping your skin clean and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help reduce acne and keep your skin healthy. Understanding and avoiding squeezing the above types of acne will help you protect your skin better and avoid unwanted complications.
