Popping Pimples? Here’s What You Need to Know!

We’ve all been there—seeing a pimple and wanting to just pop it! But beware, improper techniques can leave scars or make things worse. 😬 Here’s the scoop:

🧐 What’s inside pimples?

White plugs: Dead skin, oil, and bacteria.
Yellow liquid: Excess oil and fatty acids.
Blackheads: Oxidized oil trapped in pores.
🛠️ How to pop safely (if you must!):
1️⃣ Wash hands & disinfect the area.
2️⃣ Use sterilized tools or cotton swabs.
3️⃣ Stop when you see light pink blood—don’t overdo it!

⚠️ Never pop pimples in the “danger triangle” (nose to mouth). It’s risky and could lead to severe infections.

💡 Pro Tip: Skip popping altogether—try topical gels (like metronidazole or adapalene) or visit a dermatologist for better care.
