Do you burst your pimples? It's kinda fun -like a stress releaser Yes i know many people say you shouldn't but i read a book that said it's a myth that popping pimples is evil. If you pop it right (meaning clean and gentle hands) you'll get less a scar than if you allow the pimple to grow big.

No I never pop pimples! I hate that puss ozing out, and I don't like it at all. I was once told by a Beaitician that we shouldn't touch our face with our dirty hand. Hand carry the highest count of bacteria germs. Pinching and popping the pimple is not hygienic at all.

I think I'm very lucky, because I haven't had particula problems of pimples... When I find one on my face, I follow 2 different ways: 1) I go to my mother...she loves to pop pimples! 2) I wait one night, and generally, the next morning it is disappear!it probably come back under skin!

Yeah, i do pop my pimples if i have one. I tried not to do that but I still do it unconsciously. They really say that it'll leave mark on your face but I do also use some ointment for my pimple so that it won't grow big.=)

I used to pop my pimples and couple scars are left on my skin, I'm very upset about that but I cannot do anything to help right now. These days, I don't pop it anymore and just let it grow until it gets well done.

Maybe I'm just blessed because I seldom have pimples on my face; and if I have one, it's only just very small and easily disappears in a few days. I never pop my pimple because doing so could only lead to skin irritation. It's not advisable also - when someone pops his/her pimple, it creates an opening for the bacteria to enter.

nope, i dont pop my pimples.. popping pimples will leave scars caused by the damaged tissues and bacerial infections. and this kind of scars take a long time to heal even if you apply anti scar cream such as merderma or vitamin E..
