sometimes when i pop my pimples, they turn into dark spots. some of the dark spots last for like a couple of weeks, but others seem like they're permanent.
i'm currently using neutrogena vicibly even moisturize wit spf 15 and neutrogena acne mark peel, but they dont seem to be working well...
is there anything i can do or buy that will help me get rid of the dark spots faster?

oneandonly345 answered Wednesday April 20 2005, 4:35 pm: dont pop them! use cream. i dont know of anything that will take them away, they are probably scars. so get some scar minimizer stuff.
i would stop popping them. it doesn't help, as you know. you get dark spots.
hope i helped [ oneandonly345's advice column | Ask oneandonly345 A Question ]

Karen answered Wednesday April 20 2005, 9:49 am: Well, from now on, you need to stop popping your zits. If you pop them before the whitehead forms, then is why they scar. These scars that you have are permanent and if you want to get rid of them, try out Proactiv. It will clear up your face and get rid of the scars from your previous zits. Or you can buy a scar remover but I don't think that would be a good thing to use on your face. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]

Becuase when you do it you most likly pop them
the wrong way and right after you do it you have to put on a mask. So its better if you not pop them unless you read more about how to do it! i would say if it bothers you that much go get a facial.
About the black stuff dont worry it will go away after time. The best way is to get a tan on your face. It will make the scars look better and stop more pimples from coming! Also you should try different kinds of face cleaners. Its better to have at least 3 different kinds.
jazzy11 answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 11:11 pm: maybe you shouldn't put anything on your face because i have over 3 pimples but under 7. i hate them i tried to pop mine but it wouldn't do it, i leave it alone because i don't want to get scars and grow more pimples im not beat. don't use bars of soap to clean your face use hand soap and scrub your face or rub it to kill the germs. i would go in the pool with chlorine in it because chlorine shrinks the pimples and i think it makes the pimples turn into crust so it would be easier. clean your face 2 times a day to see what happens. don't put anything on your face clean it then put a little bit of lotion so its not ashy and don't put know kind of make-up, pimple repellent or something that would affect the pimples.hoped i helped.

LlYySsAa answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 9:38 pm: The dark things after the pimples pop are probably scars. I have some of those on my face too from popping zits. You might want to try this stuff that I use, it's called Proactive refining sulfur mask. It works so good. You can go to proactive.com and get some. Hope this helps!!
o0xbrianna answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 9:32 pm: Best thing to to stop popping them! That just makes them more noticable and can even cause more to pop up. Pro Activ works well. The spots can be permanent depending on how hard you squeeze so be careful!
