Unsightly pimples are a major concern among teenagers. Even adults find it difficult to accept them. If left untouched, the pimples take two to three days to subside before disappearing fully. However, most teenagers are not willing to wait this long. They want to pop the pimple. This is not a difficult task provided you know how to pop a pimple.
You first need to wash your face with warm water several times. This helps in removing any dust or sweat that might be present on the face. You should then use a clean and soft towel to pat your face dry. You should never make the mistake of rubbing your face while you have pimples. It irritates the skin and there are chances that you might holiday the pimples releasing the fluids, which may cause fresh breakouts.
Next, dip a fresh cotton pad or gauze into an astringent that you are not allergic to. Wipe the area just about the pimple to completely remove any traces of dirt or microorganisms. Wash your hands especially your fingernails several times with an antiseptic solution. You can also consider using sterile gloves.
Flame heat the tip of the needle to sterilize it and prick the pimple with it. Hold two sterile gauze materials close to the pimple and collect the residue. Apply gentle pressure from both the sides till you see blood or clear fluid coming out. You can apply an ointment over it and allow it to heal naturally. Do not disturb it any further.
Never use your fingernails as a tool to pinch off a pimple. This is because it is totally unhygienic and the bacteria present in the fingernails can lodge themselves in the pimple. And in most cases it leads to secondary infection that worsens the acne breakout.
There are a few things that should be avoided while popping a zit. Never pop a zit that is not fully mature. By pinching or pressing the pimple there are chances that the bacteria will be pushed deeper into the skin pore. This will cause further harm than good.
If the zit is very hard then do not use your nails to extract it. You are likely to remove it superficially only. But at the same time you will damage the tissue around the inflamed region and make it vulnerable to secondary infection. Chances of scarring also become more.
For an immature zit you should take clean and sterile gauze and soak it in warm salt water. Place it over the pimple for at least 5 minutes. Do this several times during the day. The salt helps to dry the fluid content of the pimple and draws it out. The warm water helps the pimple becoming soft. Just before drawing the pimple out wash your face with warm water. It opens up the pore and makes it easier to pop
