TRIVIA If you squeeze the top of a volcano, where does the lava go?


Do you have the harmful habit of peeling, touching and squeezing your pimples? Think of a comedone like a volcano. If you squeeze the top of a volcano, where does the lava go? The same happens when you pick a pimple! You spread the bacteria and sometimes that pimple or pimples remains infecting the rest of your skin faster than you would have touched it. Scratching can worsen acne by causing the rupture of the follicle wall. The resulting inflammation can keep you trapped in a vicious circle of acne. It can also cause scars. Instead of touching and squeezing, rub ice on the underground pustules and commedones for about two minutes, twice a day. If you do this every time an acne injury is formed, it will often go away on its own. I advise you not to turn your pimples! Let an acne cosmetologist do it properly with sterilized instruments (in addition, we know when to stop). Do not apply Neosporin in the area. Neosporin contains cocoa butter and oils that block the pores in addition to the antibiotic, which will only cause future acne around the current. Do you know? That crust is working hard to regenerate the skin underneath it, and many times if you let the crust heal and fall off on its own, it will remove the acne.
