What to do when acne breaks? How to squeeze it safely

After getting acne, many people will always touch the pimples from time to time, and subconsciously squeeze the pimples when looking in the mirror. Once these small actions accumulate to a certain extent, the pimples will easily break. When acne breaks, it must be treated properly. If not handled properly, it may cause more pimples at best, or leave acne scars and acne holes at worst.

1. What should I do if acne breaks?

1. It is forbidden to squeeze acne with your hands. The tools are not disinfected properly. If it breaks, it is best to wipe it with medical alcohol first to avoid acne infection and worsening.

2. After wiping the pimple with alcohol, squeeze a little erythromycin ointment and apply it on the pimple. This way the pimples will not be infected and the swelling will subside quickly.

3. You can also apply iodine tincture to prevent infection. If there is no redness, swelling, heat or pain in the local area, there is no problem.

4. Don’t wear makeup and try not to let the broken areas get wet to prevent inflammation.

2. Safety rules for squeezing acne without leaving any marks

Prepare tools: soft exfoliating lotion, youth stick, acne removal mask, and eyebrow tweezers.

1. Before squeezing pimples, wash your hands thoroughly. It is best to use an exfoliating mask to soften the stratum corneum and make pimples easier to squeeze out. However, if you have inflamed pimples, remember not to rub them when exfoliating. If you are preparing to fight acne, it is best to wipe your hands again with toner. After washing your face, don’t apply anything to the areas where you want to squeeze pimples, especially don’t use astringent lotion, as that will shrink the pores and make it more difficult to squeeze out pimples.

As for the youth stick you want to use, you must first disinfect it with alcohol or lotion. When using a youth stick to squeeze a pimple, the area it contacts is smaller and will not affect or harm the normal skin next to the pimple. But it may not be easy to use at first, and some people forget to clean the youth stick after using it, and the pus left on the pimple after squeezing it out will spread to the next pimple, which is a bit like an infectious disease.

2. Apply a soft exfoliating lotion first to make it easier to squeeze pimples. To deal with stubborn and persistent acne, first apply a softening keratin lotion. You will find it particularly easy to squeeze it out. It is the same as when you use a facial mask to remove acne, you must use a beauty lotion that softens the keratin.

Tips for squeezing acne

Generally speaking, if the pus-filled acne has matured, it does need to be removed so that it does not stay in the pores and aggravate the inflammation. When squeezing, pay attention to whether the tools have been properly disinfected, whether the pus and blood have been completely removed, and whether the subsequent anti-inflammatory work is complete. If you are not sure that you have handled it well, you still have to seek help from a professional beautician or doctor.
