Popping Zits
Ever wondered what happens under your skin when you pop a pimple? When you squeeze a spot, you can inadvertently force debris from the pore deeper into the follicle, causing the follicle wall to rupture and spill the infection into the lower layer of the skin. In addition, squeezing blemishes can make them worse and even turn a regular pimple into something more severe, like a nodule or a cyst. So next time you feel the urge to pop or pick at a zit, reach for spot treatments and leave it alone to heal.
