We’ve all been there… that little whitehead staring back at you, practically begging to be popped. But here’s why you should resist the urge:
❌ Picking can push bacteria deeper into the skin, causing more inflammation
❌ It often makes the pimple bigger, redder, and way more irritated
❌ It leads to longer healing time (and sometimes scarring)
❌ It can spread bacteria, creating more breakouts in the area
Instead, try:
✔️ Applying a warm compress to gently bring it to the surface
✔️ Spot-treating with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide
✔️ Using a hydrocolloid pimple patch to flatten and heal overnight
So next time the temptation hits, remember, hands off, healing on! 💆♀️💫
