Frequently, individuals exacerbate their acne by squeezing pimples and other acne blemishes. If you’re about to pop a pimple, pause! You’ll want to read this first.
Do-it-yourself pimple popping can have unintended consequences
While squeezing pimples and other acne blemishes may appear simple, there is an art to doing it correctly. You’ll need a proper technique to avoid the following:
- Permanent acne scars
- Increased visibility of acne
- More abrasive acne
- A disease
These undesirable side effects are very likely when zits are popped at home. If you push some of the pimple’s contents deeper into the skin, you increase inflammation infrequent cases. This can make acne more visible. Certain individuals develop acne scars and pain. When you manually pop pimples, you also risk contracting an infection from the bacteria on your hands.
Dermatologists are trained in the safe removal of acne
Dermatologists employ a variety of different techniques to treat acne physically. One method is called acne extraction, which involves removing blackheads and whiteheads with sterile instruments. Acne extraction is typically recommended when other acne treatments are ineffective. It is rarely the first choice due to the time and expense involved. Acne extraction, when performed by a dermatologist, is a safe procedure for removing blackheads and whiteheads. Dermatologists also use another technique to remove a deep, painful acne cyst or nodule in which he will inject a corticosteroid into the blemish to accomplish this. This expedites healing and decreases the likelihood of scarring. Injections are appropriate for treating a single particularly painful acne nodule or cyst. It cannot be used to treat multiple acne blemishes at the same time. If you receive an excessive dose of corticosteroid, it may cause undesirable side effects.
What to anticipate from acne treatment procedures
A dermatologist uses sterilized equipment to clean out your pores during acne extraction. You may first need to exfoliate your skin. Because blackheads and whiteheads can reappear, you’ll need to maintain a skin-care regimen to avoid developing new blemishes. Within 48 to 72 hours, a corticosteroid injection will flatten the majority of acne nodules or cysts. The key to successfully treating a pimple with incision and drainage is to perform these procedures appropriately.
