Why is it bad to press pimples on your face?

790 views

I’ve seen this almost everywhere, 11 out of 10 persons I’ve met have warned me against pressing pimples growing on my face. They only suggest that I wait it out.

Anytime I ask, I always get a similar response, “it’ll make it worse”

But does it make it worse? And how exactly?

Imagine a skin pore as an anus. The circular opening of the pore is the sphincter muscle. When you pop that pimple, you permanently enlarge that opening and even rupture it, creating a nasty scar. Multiply that by 20,000 (give or take). In the long term your face it’s going to look like a detonated minefield. The skin will heal but the craters will still be visible ( especially under overhead light i.e. daylight, night club light etc.)
