do you pop it? Or cover it up? or put some sort of cream on it? I usually try to pop mine..but i don't get them often so I don't worry about scars.

I squeeze them, if I can reach them! It is really frustrating to have a really good one on your back and not being able to reach it properly. I don't know that I do it for the look of it, or for the satisfaction of getting a good 'pop'! LOL!

Put some windex on it! Hah. No really I don't get zits so I really can't answer the question. I would leave it alone and let it heal... I would think it would be the same as a scab from a wound or something of the like. Thanks Zelo

I admit, I'm a picker. I guess I was lucky back when I was younger to not have a whole lot either. I will say, that you don't have to pop them to get scars. I had a friend who had HORRID zitz, never picked and had to have her face "sanded" 3 times before she graduated from high school. I'm sure they have more advanced ways of dealing with people with her kind of problem these days, heck, these days they have oral meds to put people on who have them as bad as she did.

Zit - Pop it!! Ewww!! LOL
I pop mine. I have to or it'll just keep on growing and then turn into a black head which is just as grose or more so. The sooner I get the stuff out the sooner it'll heal up and look better.

I don't pop zits if I get them as they can lead to scars. I usually cleanse my skin with cleanser, put a mud mask on to clear pores and use a toner. Sometimes I have put toothpaste on my zit at night to dry it out, a couple of days later it has gone. That has worked with coleslaws too, putting toothpaste on when going to sleep.
