Can I squeeze out a pimple that turns yellow pus?

If you observe the pimples on your face carefully, you will find that the surface color of the pimples is light pink at the beginning. As the pimples continue to grow, after a certain period of time, the color of the pimples will turn white or yellow, and you can see very obvious pus inside. Many people will squeeze the pimples at this time. So, if the pimple turns yellow and pus turns into yellow pus, can it be squeezed?

What is the pus that comes out of acne?

Pus is a thick or thin mixture formed during the inflammation of body tissues. During the inflammation, cells and tissues undergo liquefaction and necrosis under the action of proteolytic enzymes released by bacteria and neutrophils. Combined with the exudation of fluid from blood vessels, pus forms a thick liquid that appears grayish yellow or yellowish white to the naked eye.

Except for a very small number of neutrophils that still have phagocytic ability, most of them have undergone degeneration and necrosis and are called pus cells.

In addition to pus cells, pus also contains a large number of bacteria, necrotic tissue fragments and a small amount of tissue fluid. The main substances include degenerated and necrotic leukocytes and lymphocytes, Staphylococcus aureus, necrotic tissue fluid, bacterial metabolites and pathogens.

The crucial white blood cells can phagocytize invading bacteria, viruses, parasites and other pathogens and some necrotic tissue fragments. One white blood cell will die after processing 5 to 25 pathogens. The dead white blood cells and bacterial decomposition products constitute pus.

In addition to pus, some people squeeze out small hard particles. What are these?

These are the solidified sebum secretions, which are also mixed with some bacteria and pus cells. Generally speaking, sebum is the majority, otherwise it would not solidify.

The dangers of popping acne

Why did Teacher Qiqi repeatedly remind everyone not to squeeze pimples at will? Look carefully, don't squeeze pimples at will, it's not mandatory not to squeeze, but don't squeeze them casually with your hands. There are a lot of bacteria on your hands. Even if you wash your hands, there are still a lot of bacteria. These bacteria will infect your inflamed hair follicles during the process of squeezing pimples, causing skin inflammation and acne spread;

If you squeeze pimples too hard, it is likely to leave acne marks, acne pits, or even acne scars that are difficult to remove.
