Whatever You Do, Don’t Squeeze That Zit!
Summary
Squeezing pimples, often referred to as zits, can be painful and damaging. Many believe that squeezing blackheads helps clear acne faster, but this is a myth. In reality, this practice can lead to long-term skin damage.
Understanding Pimples
Pimples are classified into two main types: non-inflammatory and inflammatory. Non-inflammatory pimples include whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones). Whiteheads are clogged follicles beneath the skin, while blackheads are enlarged plugs appearing as tiny black dots on the skin's surface. Inflammatory acne includes:
- Papules: Pink and tender to the touch
- Pustules: Small, round lesions with a red base and yellow center
- Nodules/Cysts: Large, painful forms of acne that can scar
The Dangers of Squeezing
Squeezing blackheads can cause more harm than good. Doing so can injure the sebaceous follicle and surrounding tissue, pushing bacteria deeper into the skin and potentially causing inflammation. It can even force contents to the skin's surface. Research advises against using blackhead extractors sold online or in magazines. A fully developed blackhead won't become inflamed if left alone.
Squeezing whiteheads is potentially more damaging. These tiny blemishes feel like roughness on the skin and can easily become inflamed, turning into pustules or papules when disturbed.
Proper Treatment
For whiteheads naturally evolving into papules or pustules, a dermatologist's treatment is recommended. Squeezing inflamed lesions can worsen acne. Moreover, whiteheads contain little material to expel, making squeezing ineffective and unsatisfying.
To manage acne effectively, adopt a treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and skin type. This approach is the best way to maintain control over your skin health.
