Can I squeeze pimples on my face? Why do I get pimples?

If we talk about the biggest enemy of the skin, it should be acne, right? At different ages, even before puberty, some people always have acne. So why do acne occur?

Can I squeeze pimples on my face?

Do not squeeze pimples. Squeezing pimples is likely to squeeze bacteria into the valveless veins, causing infection in the triangular area and forming blood clots in the anterior vein, affecting normal venous blood return, and flowing back to the superior ophthalmic vein, through the supraorbital vein to the cavernous sinuses on both sides of the sella turcica in the skull, spreading facial inflammation into the skull and causing serious complications of cavernous sinus suppuration and thrombophlebitis.

Why do we get acne?

1. Endocrine disorders

This is especially manifested in the imbalance of sex hormone secretion. When the human body secretes too much male hormone, it often causes the sebaceous glands to become overactive, thereby secreting more oil. This creates the prerequisite for the reproduction of acne bacteria, leading to inflammation of the pores, and acne will appear frequently.

2. Poor skin metabolism

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin, and its metabolic cycle is about 28 days. The stratum corneum on both sides of the human cheeks is relatively thick. If it is not cleaned in time, the stratum corneum cannot be metabolized normally, and the secretions inside the pores cannot be discharged smoothly. The accumulation can easily cause acne.

3. Decline of human immunity

Once the body's immunity declines, it will easily show up on the skin. At this time, the skin's ability to resist adverse external stimuli becomes weaker, making it more susceptible to acne-causing bacteria.

4. Cosmetic irritation

Using oily, powdery or other cosmetics that are difficult to absorb and remove, if the makeup is not removed thoroughly, it will cause clogged pores and obstructed oil excretion, which will lead to acne.

5. Thick hair scratches your cheeks

Hair is easily contaminated with dust and bacteria. When these hairs scratch the cheeks, on the one hand, they directly irritate the skin of the cheeks, causing the skin to turn red and the pores to breathe poorly. On the other hand, they also transmit the germs on the hair directly to the cheeks, causing acne on both sides.

6. Not paying attention to diet

Eating spicy, greasy, and high-fat foods frequently will indirectly worsen acne conditions. Stimulating food can cause abnormal hormone secretion in the body, increase oil content, clog pores and cause acne.
