So you have finally reached your breaking point and have decided the only solution for those fat zits that are planted in the middle of your Frankenstein forehead is to conduct a pimples popping party. And make those bad boys go splat on the bathroom mirror. Before you continue on you merry way keep in mind these tips that are imperative for your little adventure. They will minimize the risk of permanent scarring and ensure a successful escapade.
First, wash your hands. Dirty hands are an invitation for infection and next to scarring is the last thing you are trying to accomplish.
Second, sterilize a needle. Trust me play it safe. Use alcohol or heat the needle over a flame. If you are using the flame technique make sure you don't leave any soot on the needle. Otherwise you have just created a primitive tattooing needle and can leave little black period marks on your skin.
Third, make a warm compress from hot water. If time and circumstance allow take a hot steamy shower and let your pores get good and open. If a shower isn't in the cards the warm compress applied directly on the pimples will soften the skin and loosen the puss, allowing the popping to go much easier.
Fourth, gently prick the surface of your whiteheads with the end of your sterile needle. All you are attempting to accomplish is to create a release for the pus that lies just below the cap. You want to get the pus flowing and nothing more. If the lesion is a cyst with no head on it leave it alone.
Fifth, with gauze or tissues between your fingers and cushioning you skins gently apply pressure around the pimple to assist in the flow of pus. Continue applying gentle pressure as long as necessary. If you meet too much resistance or feel additional squeezing will not produce results. Then it's time to stop wash up and apply an astringent to kill any bacteria.
That's it. That's all there is to it.
One final thought: apply gentle pressure, don't force the issue. Being patient and gentle is the mantra you should be singing in your head. Happy pimple popping.
