Please answer!~Is popping pimples/zits/blackheads healthy?
No its not healthy! Everytime you pop a pimple it just pushes more of the bacteria back in to other places of face or wherever. Technically you shouldnt pop them but.... when you have a big a** whitehead on your face and you have to go out that is just gross. Think about it if you were looking at someone and they had a big nasty whitehead, wouldnt you want to puke? If its somewhere that you dont need to pop it try to leave it alone. (sometimes its fun popping things, i know thats gross!)Is popping pimples/zits/blackheads healthy?
Acually, its not! the blood supply that goes to face has some vessles that supply the brain. If the bacteria that causes the pimples gets into the blood supply it could possibly cause an infection in the brain. Its best to apply a warm compress and let the pop on their own.
I have been told by my doctor that it is not since it does not really ';solve'; the problem. But I usually just do it anyway.
yes. scars your skin and causes skin infections.
no because bacteria can get in tthe popped area and become infected
