@doctorjesss: Whether you’re successful in your attempt or not, trying to pop a zit can lead to scabs, scarring, dark spots, and in some cases, even infection. If you consider what’s going on beneath the surface of your skin, you’ll realize the area is under a lot of pressure. Squeezing it on the surface can cause your hair follicle to rupture and result in a bigger problem. Think more redness and swelling. Also, no matter how often you wash your hands throughout the day they’re full of bacteria. Poking and squeezing an already congested area just adds fuel to the fire. There’s no good reason to add extra bacteria to your skin. Your best bet is to keep your fingers away from your face. #proactivpartner
