Are you suppose to pop your pimples or not? And the same with Black heads? What are you suppose to do. I use this blackhead scrub stuff and it makes my blackheads bigger. Is that giving me a sign to pop them? I seldum get pimples with white heads. And usually I accident pop them. Is that bad?

But i've never had to pop my pimples because I only get one pimple at a time and they arent really big and they go away in a couple of hours to a day.But my friend gets alot of pimples and zits but she uses concealer if you're worried about the pain then get concealer from REVLON or COVERGIRL. bit get the roll on thats the only kind that really works.

mgh12 answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 10:33 pm: Yes. It is bad!! You can get scars if you pop them, and most people well.. everyone don't want big scars on their face because they popped their pimples!!
TeenageCupid answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 9:40 pm: yes, its bad because it will leave scars. We dont want that, do we?
the scrubs making your blackheads bigger because its enlarging the pores, causing more oil to come out and all the dust will make the pore become clogged.
heres what you should do:
1- For a great skin, eat a lot of fruit, pimples means you need vitamin A. Why not also take a multi vitamin?
2- wash your face with a cleansed everyday twice. (morning and before you go to bed)
3- After using the cleanser, use an astringent , its will minimize the pores. Or use a tonic, it will clean the stuff that the cleanser couldnt clean.
But be careful, do not use a cleanser for oily skin if your skin is a combination. There are special products for that cause non-oily areas might get dry.
I do what you do but I try my best not to play with my face. Whenever I pop a blackhead, some hard oil comes out . Then I wake up with a white headed pimple. Ive stopped doing that, and I eat more fruit and Ive noticed my skin is getting better. The question is: Do you have ACNE or are they just regular pimples?
You havent specified where you get te pimples and blackheads. For the nose, dont use the "biore" sticker that unblocks the pores, use the "nose pore mask" from the body shop.
Use a scrub once a week (with tea tree oil) to get rid of the dead skin that might be still on your face.
I suggest you go to a doctor so he can see what exactly is the problem. [ TeenageCupid's advice column | Ask TeenageCupid A Question ]

azngemini answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 8:49 pm: noooooo
dont pop them, unless you really really have to. if you pop it too soon, the bacteria will go deeper into your skin, and it'll stay there longer and it'll look even more red. if you just leave it alone, and use acne treatment creams/cleansers or whatever, it'll make the pimple go away in a couple of days, or a few weeks, which is a lot sooner than if you were to pop your pimples.

Kels answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 8:42 pm: nah! dont pop them!
I just got this new face wash, its by cleiracol.
(sp...big time!!!)
Its called clearisorl ultra!
its like $6 but it works sooo good!
its like a daily face wash, and it really does work! and it clears your face after the first day!
pretty_n_punk09 answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 8:38 pm: I think it's better if you pop them. It makes them go away a lot faster than just waiting it out. When white stuff starts to show, you should probably pop them. You might want to put a cold washcloth on the spot so it won't appear so red afterwards.
therocketsummer answered Tuesday March 15 2005, 8:36 pm: Well, I usually do, which is really bad because they get the bacteria from your fingers in it, which results in them getting bigger and redder. I have this extractor thing... that like is double-sider and it pops your whiteheads and your blackheads. it works really good, then I put ance cream on it afterward because your pores are open after you pop them which helps the medicene work better
