about applying the anti-scarring cream, gel, lotion or ointment directly to the skin surface and then wait for the outcome. There is actually no evidence to correlate directly the results of topical agents, such as the antibiotics and the popular benzoyl peroxide (BP) on the acne pimple scarring. Generally, as long as the inflammation and are significantly reduced by topical application from such antimicrobial, it is assumed that the potential for acne pimple scarring on face would then be diminished.The popular dermabrasion is not a new method as most people would think, in fact it was already been implemented by the ancient Egyptians since circa 1500 B.C. Dermabrasion is one of the most successful method for removing acne pimple scar and can easily sit at top 5 among all the current techniques. Dermabrasion is by physically eradicating the epidermis and papillary dermis that will create a newly open wound for it to restore by secondary objective. This open fresh wound is formed by the spinning diamond / wire brush wheel that come with rough edges / tips for the brushing and abrasion action to take place as to remove the outermost skin layer.

Dermabrasion is also popular for the treatment of wrinkles / fine lines, hyperpigmentation, keratoses ( keratosis ) and skin hyperpigmentation. A new smoother skin should develop after approximately 4-5 weeks after the dermabrasion and the effectiveness depends very much on the dermatologist’s experience and skills.

Is Squeezing / Popping Pimple Good? - 3 of 3

Before performing the popping / squeezing job and you have problem identifying and also confused with the types of pimples, whether they are Papules, Pustules, Nodules or Cysts, just follow this simple rule of thumb. Do not try to pop / squeeze pimple beneath the surface of your skin. Pop pimple only that appear to have ‘heads’. The lifespan of a pimple lasts anywhere between 1-4 weeks.

If the swelling / inflammation is too unbearable, and you have also decided not to pop or squeeze the pimple, you can also use ice pack and administer to the pimple and hold for a couple of minutes in an interval of about every ½ hours and later you will observe the reduction of the swelling and inflammation and the pain feeling will also go away. Women pimple sufferers should try to avoid excess stress if prone to pimple breaking out. Patients taking birth control pills that inhibit pimples such as the popular Ovral and Norinyl, should try to switch to a different pill or use an alternative birth control method or seek medical practitioner for further assistance

So, popping / Squeezing Face Pimple Good ? Yes, if it is being done correctly. The most ideal way to pop / squeeze face pimple is to seek the dermatologist. He/she can remove out the contents from your pimples and inject with mild cortisone as to help the pimples subside more quickly. The second in line will be the beautician, A beautician can also do this same job provide she is experience enough. I have personally tried this at the beautician parlor even with the whitehead and the results were good.

Info Besides the states of mind and general health problem that can affect skin condition, what the dermatologists often understudy is how hormones and nutrition can affect and reduce the pimples problem.
