Squeezing pimples causing less damage to the skin
Choose the “right” spine
To squeeze the pimple, it must first have a white tip, known as a pustule.
However, if the pimple is a deep, firm, painful and red lump, do not squeeze it. This is because the inflammation, in this case, is very deep. In other words, dirt and pus can spread and lead to more inflammation and the dreaded scars.
Hygiene
Before squeezing, clean your hands and the pimple site thoroughly. Wash with water and a mild soap. At the end, a little alcohol can be added.
Instruments
Use warm compresses to soothe the inflammation and help open the pore. Cotton compresses can also be used to help extract pus.
Then, you can also use a sterilized pin or needle to make a small hole in the white tip of the pimple.
When finished
Then, squeeze the pimple gently so as not to cause further inflammation. However, if it starts to bleed when you squeeze the pimple, stop immediately.
However, if a clear fluid starts to come out, it is because the pimple is not “mature” enough. In other words, the inflammation can worsen.
When you’re done, apply hydrocortisone ointment or a product with benzoyl peroxide. They are antibacterial and can help reduce inflammation.
