Can someone explain the sorcery, or science, behind the small acne stickers that teenagers everywhere swear by now. Thanks!

Hydrocolloid bandages (which is what those stickers are) absorb pus and other gunk from wounds, which makes them very useful when you’re trying to flatten a pimple or drain a cyst. But there needs to be some way for the drainage to escape, i.e. an opening in the pimple. Just sticking a sticker on top isn’t going to get any of the gunk out.
