Is Popping Pimples Bad?

Do popping pimples have bad effects? At the back of our minds, we certainly do think so because that is the way most people train us to think. And for good reason too. There are those who had their faces scarred due to popping pimples. Maybe you have seen someone with a face identical to that of the texture of the moon. I have personally seen one. There are also those that worsened their situation because their pimples multiplied and spread out to their whole face and even their neck.

So then again we go back to the same question, is it perfectly bad to pop pimples? While majority thinks so, based from personal experience and some research this is not entirely true. What is bad is popping pimples at the wrong time. As they say, there is a good time for everything. To give an analogy, popping pimples is like riding a bus. If you ride the bus at the wrong time (while still mobile and fast at that…), most likely than not you will get into an accident. But if you ride it at the right time then you will be able to board it safely.

In the last post, When to Pop a Pimple, we have talked about the correct timing and situation to pop pimples. Now we are going to discuss the good and the bad points in doing so.

First up the bad. A picture paints a thousand words so they say thus here is a picture of the bad effects of popping pimples at the wrong time:

As you can see from the picture above, popping pimples at the wrong time might cause scarring in the long run. Also, popping pimples improperly will cause bacteria to spread on the surface of your face and cause more pimples. So, be careful in popping those pimples.

On the other hand, there is a good side to popping pimples. Doing so at the right time can actually heal the spot where you got your pimple faster. And if done properly, you can have a pimple free face in no time!

Thus popping pimples is not entirely bad. If you pop it according to what we have outlined in this site, you should not encounter any problems. However, if you are hesistant in doing so, feel free to consult your dermatologist on this.
