Question: Pop or not pop my acne!?
When I get acne like the white-ish stuff, my mom tells me to pop it when it's ready!. But people's been saying that it's bad!. So do I pop it when it's ready or do I leave it and not do anything!? Any advice!? Thanks =]Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm just guessing that when you say white stuff you mean puss or a whitehead!. Acne heals it's self, it is supposed to, so leaving it alone is the #1 way for it heal because it will not scar or get infected!. Popping zits can scar your whole life! If you pop your zits the puss will just go back into your skin causing more acne! So would you rather have a big scab on your face or a little red (or white) bump!? By the way whiteheads (or pimples) don't sink in your skin they go away with time, leaving it is the most natural way to cure it, but if they really bother you (or your mom) just use some of my mom's home remedies!.

you can rub crushed garlic cloves on the skin, the garlic will reduce swelling as well as cure the pimple!.

or mix one teaspoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of ground cinnamon!. Apply this mixture to any breakout and watch them disappear, its freaky!

or if you want overnight relief, try dabbing plain white toothpaste on the pimples, DO NOT USE GEL OR WHITENING TOOTHPASTE, IT WILL MAKE IT WORSE!
(and if you don't have plain toothpaste, mix baking soda and water)

or mix teaspoon of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder!. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it every night

or grate a cucumber and put it on the effected area for 15-20 minutes

or put visine on your pimples to get out the redness, (note: it doesnt make them go away it just makes the less red)

or take 6 - 8 uncoated aspirin tablets in cup or bowl and crush them in to a powder!. Add a few drops of warm/hot water, allow vera gel or honey, now stir until you have a thick white paste!. You may need to add more water to achieve the right consistency!. Spread over your entire face, sit back and relax for 10-15 minutes!. You'll know when 15 minutes is up as the mask is likely to start falling off your face!. Wash off the mask with warm water and a gentle cleanser, as you wash gently massage, the grains will help exfoliate and reveal softer, glowing skin!. Then, gently pat your face dry!.

Thats my mom's favorite, but i don't like it too much!.

or to prevent zits, break outs, blemishes, black heads, ect!. put a mask of egg whites on your face



NOTE: these are all my mom's remedy's so I'm not 100% sure it works for everyone but I hope it works for you!

personally, i get acne every now and then, often when I don't pop it, the zit/pimple will get bigger and spread b/c the puss (white-ish) stuff is not released, therefore it spreads out, the reason people say not to pop them is because it can lead to scarring, which is true, the best thing to do is to pop them, but only til all the white-ish stuff is released, then dab with alcohol, also see a doctor for possible acne treatments, and get some benzoyl peroxideWww@Answer-Health@Com

DON'T POP!!!!!!! I have really bad acne and no matter how bad it looks I try not to pop it!. If you pop it there is a good chance you will get scars on your face later if it clears up!. Trust me I already have some scars from popping the acne and unless you want scars later don't pop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

leave it if you pop a zit it will spread all the gunk in it and spread on your face and more zits will come in its place just leave it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pop them and they are more likely to scar and leave marks there for life!.
Don't pop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
