"Never Squeeze a pimple because you will macerate it."advised Dr Mehmet Oz.he also said that pressing the healthy skin around a spot also damages it.Instead he advises you should use a needle cleaned with alcohol and attack the spot sideways.Then rip outwards to draw the puss out.That way the skin wont be damaged.
So many of us cant leave our pimples alone.we press and press and press until the skin is left red,sore and swollen.(I am culprit ).
Dr Oz went on to explain that the pimple is a body trying to push away the puss.therefore rather than prodding away with dirty fingers,he advises we use a needle that has been cleaned thoroughly with alcohol.instead its healthier to place the needle parallel to the skin,rather like you are about to skewer meat,and then pierce the skin from one side to another.
"You only want to hit the white part of the pimple because that part is already dead" he said.
Last year,scientists discovered why some people are prone to spots than others.the researchers from UCLA said the key to finding out more about the bacteria that live on the skin and cause Acne.This bacteria contains Bad strains which cause pimples and good ones that may protect the skin.Having too much of the bad bacteria is what causes spots.
