Pimples removal tips

Pimple is a small pointed elevation of the skin that may or 
may not contain pus. The formation of pimples is frequently 
associated with infection, irritation, or overactivity of the 
sebaceous and sweat glands. Repeated eruptions of pimples are 
often termed acne .

How to pop a pimple?

Some say popping a pimple can scar, others say it can't scar. 
I tend to think that lancing and gently squeezing pimples 
that are at the surface and white will usually not lead to 
scarring. However, trying to squeeze and pop a pimple which 
is still below the surface may lead to major problems. 

1. Take a warm shower or bath to soften your skin. 
2. Wash your face and remove all makeup. 
3. Wash your hands to prevent spreading germs and infecting 
the pimple. 
4. Sterilize a needle by running it through a flame (a dirty 
needle will cause an infection and maybe a bigger pimple). 
5. Gently prick the tip of the pimple with the needle. 
6. Take a clean tissue or piece of toilet paper and wrap it 
around your index fingers. 
7. Gently apply pressure to the sides of the pimple to ease 
out the pus. Stop when blood or clear fluid comes out. 

If the white stuff doesn't budge after squeezing gently, don't 
even think about popping it. Instead, soak a piece of sterile 
gauze in a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup warm tap water. 
Hold the gauze on the spot for five to 10 minutes and repeat 
several times a day -- the salt water may help dry out the spot 
and draw the pimple to the surface. Only attempt to squeeze after 
you see whitish stuff under the skin.

If the pimple becomes serious, every 30 minutes, apply an ice 
pack to the pimple and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This 
will decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the 
inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with it. Then
cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a 
specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as 
lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, 
but don't rub too hard, otherwise you'll sap your skin of its 
own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.

If you're in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the 
affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and 
reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton 
ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five 
minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.
