Should i squeeze my spots?

simple enough really, should i squeeze my spots or leave them be?


would be nice if you could add any treatments also.





thankyouShould i squeeze my spots?
The best choice is to leave them alone. I am studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I spent a trimester shadowing a great dermatology expert. She got referrals from western dermatologists all of the time. I saw her do incredible things for people with ';hopeless'; skin problems, including acne. Her 2 most important rules:


1) Moisturizer-yes, if needed.


2)Cleanser-no. That's right- do NOT use cleanser/soap/etc. Just wash your face with WARM, not hot, water twice per day.Should i squeeze my spots?
If you ask people, they always say no. It depends if you have major acne or just the odd spot. But I am kinda obsessive about squeezing and physically cant leave them alone. There are plenty good tips but mine are as follows...


NEVER get squeezing right after a shower. I know its tempting when all your pores are open but trust me, you'll get carried away and cause a right mess and the redness takes ages to disappear.


ALWAYS use your knuckles, not finger nails or you'll cause an even bigger mess.


If you have a huge massive whitehead type spot, it needs squeezing coz people feel ill looking at them (well I do)


Get your hands on some witch hazel gel, it works wonders on drying up the wee nasties.


I have learnt over time that prevention is better than cure. If you feel a spot coming, attack it with Savlon or witch hazel gel regularly and it won't come up.


I hope this helps. I know I shouldn't squeeze but sometimes it's just damn right necessary.


Lastly, do all your squeezing last thing at night.


Good luck.
i had a spot under my nose and i squeezed its left a small scar, but after a while the scars fade.





Im not a spotty person so it was only like one tiny hardly noticable scar but if you suffer from spots and you have quite a few then best not, If you suffer from acne then you can go to the doctors and he can prescribe you stuff to get rid of them and it really works cos my friend had bad acne and went to the doctors and now its nearly all gone!
A pair of tweezers, astringent and antiseptic cream/lotion, failing that your fella's aftershave or your cologne. I used to do that when I was a teen and it didn't leave any scars. The only couple of scars I have were from chickenpox.
You can pop them if they have yellow heads and get all the stuff out


then leave it untill it stops bleeding and repeat if need be


washing your face every night and morning stops me from getting spots i also use tea-tree directly on spots.





keep your face moisturized too

No!


Could leave scars - some say its not true but I've never risked it.





Just leave them be and wash your spoty area with sensitive skin soap.





Honestly, don't worry about them.
no
No, don't.





Unless you want a pockmarked face.
