Do you need to squeeze the pimple patch before using it? Can you use a band-aid on pimples?

Acne patches are popular among many people, especially during puberty when pimples break out all over the face, making one feel terrible. Acne patches are a blessing for people with acne. Do you need to squeeze the patches before use?

Should I squeeze the acne patch before using it?

The acne patch should be squeezed before use. Only by squeezing the pimples and applying acne patches can the pus inside the pimples be sucked out.

The acne patch will turn white after absorbing the pus inside the acne. After turning white, the acne patch should be replaced. You should clean the acne area every day and decide whether to use the acne patch again after checking the condition of the acne.

Before applying the acne patch, you need to clean the acne first, then take an acne patch the size of the acne and apply it on the acne. This way, the acne patch can absorb the secretions. Once the secretions are sucked out, the acne can heal faster.

If you need to apply ointment for acne, you should apply the ointment first, and then apply the acne patch after the ointment is absorbed. When applying acne ointment, please be careful. Most acne ointments are oily, so you should apply a smaller amount, otherwise the acne patch will not stick firmly.

The acne patch is more effective when applied when the acne breaks, as it can quickly absorb the secretions inside. If the pimple is not broken, the effectiveness of the acne patch will be greatly reduced.

Can Band-Aids be used to treat acne?

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles caused by multiple factors. The root cause is endocrine disorders and excessive secretion of male hormones. Treatment options include benzoyl peroxide gel and isotretinoin gel.

The Band-Aid didn't work, but it didn't have any side effects either. Band-Aid, also known as "hemostatic plaster", is the most commonly used surgical medicine in people's lives. It has the functions of stopping bleeding and protecting wounds. It consists of a long strip of adhesive tape with a small piece of gauze soaked in medicine attached in the middle. Due to its structural limitations, Band-Aids can only be used for emergency treatment of small injuries, thereby temporarily stopping bleeding and protecting the wound surface. If you use it for too long, the outer layer of the Band-Aid will be non-breathable, causing the wound and the skin around the wound to turn white and soften, leading to secondary bacterial infection, which will make the wound worse.

Epidermal abrasions are not suitable for Band-Aids

If the epidermis is abraded, you only need to use alcohol or iodine to disinfect it. Exposing the affected area will help it heal faster. But if you use a Band-Aid, it will increase the infection rate.
