The habit of popping pimples can ruin your face, increasing the risk of infection and scarring.

News Topical, Digital Desk : Even the smallest pimple on our face makes us want to pop it. Popping a pimple may feel satisfying, but it's not good for your skin. Experts believe that popping pimples can cause scarring and increase the risk of infection. 

So, if you ever get a pimple on your face, no matter how much you crave it, don't make the mistake of popping it. Let's learn how the habit of popping pimples can become your punishment. 

increased risk of infection

When you pop a pimple, you create an open wound on your skin. Our hands and nails harbor countless bacteria. Once a pimple bursts, these bacteria can enter the skin through the open hole. This increases the risk of a serious infection at the site of the pimple , which can lead to further pain and pus.

Skin irritation and swelling

Our skin is very sensitive, while our nails are much tougher and stronger than it. When you apply strong pressure to the skin with your nails to pop a pimple, the surrounding cells are damaged. This can cause skin irritation and severe inflammation.

People often use pimple-extracting tools, but using them without medical advice can cause skin peeling. Therefore, never use these tools on your own.

scars on the skin 

The worst consequence of popping a pimple is scarring. Applying too much pressure to remove a pimple can cause bleeding and deep damage to the skin tissue.

The most important thing is that many pimples are located deeper in the skin, not on the surface. Squeezing them can cause them to remain inside instead of draining, damaging the skin , which can later develop into deep pits or dark marks.

While popping a pimple may seem right at the time, its consequences can ruin your beauty. Therefore, if pimples are a serious problem, it's wise to seek professional advice rather than trying to treat them yourself.
