How to squeeze pimples correctly? Correctly squeeze pimples to minimize the harm

We must make it clear that, in principle, we absolutely do not advocate squeezing pimples, as squeezing pimples can be very harmful. However, some people have pimples that they cannot squeeze because they feel itchy and can't stand it. Therefore, learning the correct way to squeeze pimples can minimize the harm of squeezing pimples.

How to squeeze pimples the right way

Step 1: Clean your hands

The most important first step before popping a pimple is to clean your hands. Our hands come into contact with a lot of bacteria every day. Cleaning your hands can prevent secondary infection of the skin when squeezing pimples and cause skin inflammation.

What to do: Wash your hands with running water close to body temperature and use special hand soap to clean them, then dry your hands with a clean and soft towel.

Step 2: Cleanse your skin

After cleaning your hands, be sure to clean the skin where the acne is located. In daily life, the skin will metabolize and produce a lot of dirt, dead skin and bacteria, which accumulate on the surface of the skin. Therefore, before squeezing pimples, you must first thoroughly clean the skin. After cleaning the skin, soften the stratum corneum appropriately and apply a hot towel to the face to dilate the pores, which will help to squeeze out pimples more easily, reduce the pressure on the skin and reduce damage.

Note: After softening the cuticle and applying anti-inflammatory water, you can place a tissue around the pimple and gently squeeze the skin around the pimple with your fingers. Be careful not to use excessive force or squeeze the pimple forcefully.

Step 3: Disinfection of instruments

It is best not to squeeze pimples directly with your hands, but to use an acne picker. Disinfect the acne picker with alcohol before use to prevent the bacteria on the acne picker from infecting the skin again and causing skin inflammation.

Step 4: Squeeze the pimples

After completing the above three steps, you can start squeezing the pimples. First, press the small hole above the acne pick on the pimple. Place the pimple opening in the middle of the circle and press down, or move slowly until the pimple opening touches the edge of the wire. If you can't squeeze it out at once, you may be driving in a different direction. Try changing direction.

Note: Squeezing pimples requires patience and pressing slowly. Do not use too much force at once to avoid damaging the surrounding skin.

Step 5: Eradicate remaining acne

After squeezing the pimples for the first time, we may find that there may still be some white substances left in the pores. At this time, we can use tweezers to clamp the head and pull it out. This will completely remove the acne and avoid any residual acne material remaining in the pores.

Step 6: Anti-inflammation and shrink pores

Finally, it is important to promptly disinfect the wound after squeezing the pimple. Generally, you can apply chloramphenicol eye ointment appropriately. You can also rub some saline solution on the wound. This can prevent the bacteria from spreading and contaminating other skin, causing inflammation or acne growth again. In addition, you can also apply ice cubes to the wound through a tissue to delay redness and swelling and shrink pores.
