Why picking pimples is so bad

[Monolith787]

ok so does picking include like squeezing? I don't really pick, more so just lightly squeeze till that nasty stuff pops out, lol my self esteem already sucks cause i am overweights so these fuckers need to go

[ridacnepimples]

Thanks for sharing your story. I can relate, because I suffered with acne as a teen. It was

horrible. In the end, I found that a new improved 3 step application process worked the best for me, and believe me, I tried them all.

What I recommend to others now is Protactiv Solution Micro-Crytal Acne Kit which gives a 3 step process on how to get rid of acne fast.

So if I have those little whiteheads or zits on my back, I should leave them to grow or heal/hide by itself? It's hard not to pick them out, especially when you want to go out somewhere and you have this painful red area.. :( I know that picking the pimples it wrong, now I have a little hole on my left cheek, and it's so annoying.. I'm thinking to get microdermabrasion to get rid of this hole and those marks all over my face.

Please answer :)

[ashleym5663]

yaaaay i find you so helpfull :)

[ppshadowcat]

i'm not a picker, but my mom forcefully picks my pimples. i tell her stop, but she dosen't listen to me. thx to her my face is even fucked up then before. if only there was a way to tell her :(

[vanessa029able]

wow thought i was the only one. feel better after seing this. been a skin/pimple picker for past 5 years, the longest ive lasted without picking would be 11 days and it cleared up, but habbit just keeps coming back

[peachpacman]

skin picking has seriously damaged my life! thank you so much for giving me hope!! this is so emotional for me realizing that it's not just "skin-deep" im readin the don't pick on me book right now. hopefully i can get rid of this awful shameful habit. thank you xoxo

[cmgym96]

Try using microdermabrasion, it got rid of my acne and scars by using it.

[9madeline9]

@cmgym96 I have a little hole/hollow on my left cheek and in the middle of forehead. I have this from picking the zit. Does microdermabrasion work to remove that kind of little holes? Please answer, it's important for me :)

. sorry my english is weak :p

[MrJosh0916]

picking fucks up my life srsly... it makes my job harder because of my confidence is lower then my balls... i dont thnk there is an actual way to stop when ever u try its just willpower! which also i dont have

[cuteraz18]

this video is most popular with:

female 13-17

male 45- 54 - ???????? O_O

female 18- 24

[SmashBrosBrawl]

@cuteraz18

lol most males lie about there actually age on youtube,

my profile says il like 40,

im actually 18

[virginialikesyou]

I love you

[zomgitsashie]

@dss103 sorry, youtube loves their character limitations. ~ like I said those kinds of pimples tend to be one of the more less noticeable kinds of acne only because they don't usually get very large although they are annoying, unless someone looked up your nose I don't think they'll notice it. So if you don't tell, they won't know ;] good luck! Try squeezing it gently with a tissue when it's ready to pop, if it scars, its inside your nose, so it's not like you can see it. Good luck!

[zomgitsashie]

@dss103 it's easy to get pimples in ur nose because the outer rims of your nostrils are oily and there inside of the nostril is filled with bacteria and oils from the outer parts of your nose. this usually happens when someone gets a cold because of constant rubbing and irritation and sneezing, the bacteria builds up most of the time. while i doubt your going to stick a q-tip of some acne treatment in your nose, those pimples tend to go away in a few days & theyr one of the less noticeable kinds

[THECAPSLADY101]

but wat if ur face is itchy like come on lol

[Kiyosnumber1girl]

I have acne on my back ewwww...

[Me102288]

she's ABSOLUTELY right in a way, picking them will spread the infection, unless you absolutely.. surgically CLEAN .. pierce the white spot, and suck the infection out fast enough it doesn't touch any part of the skin, DO NOT touch it with ANYTHING that isn't disinfected... and use food grade hydrogen peroxide to clean the ENTIRE area near the zit. or put a bandaid over it if its that bad and blame a mosquito

[dss103]

I just got a pimple in my nose today...WTF!?!?!? I didn't even know you could get a pimple in your nose. WTHell do i do? Thumbs this up plz because this is just ridiculous. My brother thought this was hilarious though lol, jackass!

[futurefashionista101]

omg i have OCD O_O my mom was right...haha :] i have so many scars from picking!! i have bad acne on my arms and now they have scars too x-[ its just that i'd rather have a scar than a bump!! just gotta learn that a bump is temporary unlike a scar...

[723965]

''you know what there isn't a cure" U r Right! CaUse I can't find no da#$ cure. I have have it since I was in the 2nd grade and now im 21. I have a picking problem. if you can or any1 can give me advice on that problem it would be nice. I have dry skin:(

[danny1234567890ify]

does clean and clear work???????

[crabfishlion]

@danny1234567890ify put wildflower local honey on your face for ten minutes everyday, you will cure your acne.

[dantedhael125]

here is a good way to clear up acne and its simple but it needs time i tryed it and it work

check it out

(dante4673.cure4acne. net)

[The2768Cassia]

Should people pop their whiteheads though? I've heard that once those white cells rise to create whitehead they are done doing their job and it's advisable to clean out the puss?

[L3g3ndkill4]

Aussie Accent..

[ewebb16]

australian?

also, not picking helps so much. i used to have terrifyingly bad acne but recently it has really cleared up (recently as in the last two months) because i have completely stopped picking and i have started drinking exactly 2L of water a day. im not sure which it is, if they work together or whatever, but its working. the best thing you can do is go and get a 2L bottle and fill it up everyday in the morning and make sure you drink it completely before you go to bed. do it.

[Idknowwhyimhere]

@scampy099 omg me 2! I made a bunchhh of scabs it looks HORRIBLE. I know your pain...just STOP picking. That's what we need 2 do. It's the best 4 us.

[aibhlinneeson]

why oh why didnt i find thisa few hours ago!

[Salger12]

I've learned to resist popping them. But it's too late, I'm 18 now and I have scarring. I've had acne for years now and it's getting better, but still have marks everywhere... :(

[Scampy099]

I messed up my forehead so badly I keep picking on pimple and ripping them off my face now I got spots all over my forehead all my friends keep telling me that you can connect the dots on my forehead:,(

[JackJackKcajify]

@Scampy099

[Scampy099]

@JackJackKcajify lolz thts wat i did 2 1 of them now nobody bothers me :P

[Tedsta101]

@Scampy099 Lol same here. It's a little bit offending to me, but at the same time it's kinda funny. My friend also says "You're Harry Potter and you have Hogwarts" lol.

[CARSandBIKES9]

omg im mentally ill because i like to squeeze ugly pimples on my face :O wow what a crock of shit lol its a behavoural pattern not an illness.

[10azangel10]

why when i dont squeeze my pimples i get a dark brown spot that goes away in a month or more than a month?plz reply thank you :)

[Divine7Monster]

@10azangel10 I have the same!! =D

Our skin is to dry, you should mix oil, sugar and honey once the two months =)

[adolfhitlerloveboxxy]

To stop from picking my pimples I don't look in a mirror as often.

After a while once I saw my skin clearing up, I didn't feel the need to anymore.

But let me say I use to loved to pick my pimples, especially big black heads on my nose and cheeks. ugghh worst mistake.

[dirtypeebo]

I have to do it no matter what.

[Idknowwhyimhere]

I'm going to try to stay away from the mirror and never ever look into it that seems to help but I picked tonight cuz I always seem to wanna pick at night when I'm bored now I'm friken mad I have to start all over!

[ExclusiveOnly]

well ive got a bit of a problem, i try not to pick my face and usually i dont, but at night i pick while im asleep!! and i wake up with spots on my pillow :| i think i need some help

[gymnastjess2009]

[jadenmillion]

omg she babbles WAAAYY too long...stfu and this vid coulda been like 3 mins shorter dumb bitch

[demonicBerith]

Wow this bitch is stupid , that's why right after you pop a pimple you use acne wash immediately. Only bad if you pop it and then don't do anything for it.

[CrimsonSakuraPetals]

Sorry but u ramble way to much..BORING! get to the point....

[grammielove]

You are a lovely and incredibly brave young woman. thank you for helping me to become more honest with myself about this horrible problem.

[D0wnS3tG0]

5 stars for tits

[nikbookworm]

you're absolutely right, picking makes it worse. It spreads the infection or adds more dirt on your face.

[oOxXMeggieXxOo]

im sooo bad with that !

[oxygenineed]

but what if they are green- you cant leave that alone surely!!

[XlettuceXFilms]

@oxygenineed damn u got problems

[zestrus11]

[Liltonsmilton]

That's my favourite kind of problem: the kind you didn't know you had until you read a book. The book that allso sells you a course on how to solve your newly created problem...

thanks for making the world a better place

[payalem]

[crabfishlion]

@someguynamedaaron do people jack off to pimple popping videos?

[Krisznyo]

i do it for a hundred bucks.

[HecstasyQ]

i use neutrogena

[Whiphitk0]

Aloe Vera works;

[Theicemonkeyjr]

ive used so many differant treatments some worked for a while but then just didnt, im going to try to stop picking now but its just horrible when theres a big yellow ugly thing on ur face, now i just use hot water and soap and im going to stop picking and hopfully it will work

[357RJ357]

no dont use soap, put a clean and soft cloth under hot water and just dab your face with it and it clears up a bit , if you use soap your skin will dry up and it looks flakey and bad so dont use soap

[ProudlySAF]

Proactive works for some people anothers it doesnt! It didnt work for me, it actually made me break out more :( but it works wonders for my sister. So really it just depends on the person.

[4lv2liveinlove0]

ASPRIN!! use a asprin mask no more than 2x a week it IS sylic acid..or whatever its called!

[doeboy736]

has anybody used tetracycline?

[TheAzzazin]

what's that?

[MegaPorka]

don't worry fran you look beautiful.

[AndreitaSofia]

what do you guys think about proactive??? i want to buy it but i don't know... please respond!!! XD

[creamnice]

proactive suck; it only works for awhile then boom breakout. use natural raw organic treatment for your skin. like aloe vera and honey(raw). im 16 and let me tell you about my story. i had really bad acne and still do sumtimes. dandelion tea, i used it for a month when i was 14 and skin acne, gone. when i stop using it my acne came back and worse. now i dont keep up with dandelion tea so i have acne still. sumtimes breakouts( right now). if you want to know more email me. k! \/

[Elk43]

but proactive works just fine for alot of people.

[vitalyman]

doesnt work i have used it it works just like any other product you can buy at a walgreens or any drug store

[bleaker17]

it does!!

[fatkiki69]

how can i get rid of my blackheads please help!

[hairy4444]

okay i just joined the seven steps but i have a question...what if the pimple is like a big white head do you pick. i mean cause you dont wanna go out with a big zit thats reaady to go??

[tyresmoke]

damn you are cute with your accent and red hair!

[TheTricklisted]

shes dumb, i get pimples once in a whioe....i dont fucking pick them....WTF

[wildcomfort88]

i love popping my zits. i dont give a fuck if i get scars from it.

[TheInfinite91]

LOL! Serious?

[astr323]

I agree; for me, it's super gratifying to get that instant relief from tearing off a flake or releasing a white head...but to know that scars are going to be there for months or years and you can't pick them off..

D: that would be horrible.

[undertakerfuckinrock]

is supossed you pick yourself when you have a NASTY WHITE STUFF

[dEsErt3agl3]

in every single video you've done, there has not been any signs of acne

[deathofacne]

I find that instead of worrying about touching your face or popping them..why not just stop them from happening? Check out my channel and videos with doctors and on how acne is actually formed! Good luck!

[uploadandsharevideos]

don't listen to them.

just squeeze that thing !

[foxxieluvv]

i picked my acne and it gave me scars dont do it!! try epiduo, it cleared mine up very quickly

[crazylela18]

does epiduo on acne really work?? i been hearing it does and i wanna be sure my skin is breaking out fast and i need help!

[foxxieluvv]

Yeah, it really does my acne cleared up in about 2 weeks of using it and the price for it is completly worthwhile you won't regret it

[armanth13]

sheesh she's giving help with a problem that plagues people, I still get them on occasion, but I clean fryers and other greasy stuff at burger king so a few once in a while is almost expected. whether or not she's hot or too skinny or w/e should not matter, brains are far sexier!

[GothicMunky101]

I <3 ur accent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EasterBunnySucks]

i know it's bad, but sometimes you just can't help yourself XD

[misphotod]

Your honesty about this is refreshing and I'm definitely going to check out both your blog and the course you talk about. I feel so much better that I'm not alone and also for the fact that there's something new I can try. :) Thanks for posting, and like always don't let idiot commenters get you down... you're beautiful!

[canonheadmk1]

[indyfan927]

[Sup3rCrAzyDud3]

[eabbdb]

TOTALLY AGREE. I got acne in 7th grade, i decided to stop picking it. Now im in 10th, Its COMPLETELY GONE. It finally disapeared in 8th though.

[xoxtreehuggerxox]

pimples pop either way! it either by its self, or you do it. you just have to do it carefully try popping a small whole on top of it just so the puss and shit have a way out! and dont press hard. when it doesnt have a way out, it basically rips its way out through your skin which leaves scars.

[mattbiker419]

id rather have a huge red spot than a frikin pussy yellow thing anyday. pop them now bitches!!

[BigLfan217]

Same here.

[CalebTheGuitarist]

bottom line, i would rather have a red spot on my face, than a white head ANY DAY!!!

skin heals. its not like popping a zit is gunna do permanate damage...

[Papajohn0125]

you should work out,

[social3ngin33rin]

I have time to spare :D

[CalebTheGuitarist]

[pers0n19]

[greyskirt]

I stoped picking a month ago and I can tell that it helps...BUT now I have a few pimples that just don´t go away ^^"

And I´ve got a few blackheads and don´t know what to do against them :(

can someone tell me something like a punctual treatment :P pleaassee?

[adriandeone]

this is so true! I can relate to this! I'm definately an ocd to picking. and even worse, I think I'm an ocd to cleaning/organizing! bad combination! but I tried to stop picking for a while and my face was clearing up! it gave me a lot of confidence and it made me happy, but then I started to pick on it again! I can't help it! it's very addicting for me and sometimes I do it without even noticing. I always seem to procastinate. thanks for this video! I am too going to try the 30 day challenge!

[ayalond]

wow that is me!!!!!! i swear i probably pick in my sleep.

[vivaforever09]

But what about picking pinple that has a while head that is pushing it's way out?

[snoozeyoulose19]

thanks, gonna read that course but this your video has already made me never want to pick ever again!!

[harmonizethelord9]

obviously you don't touch your pimples because you have been touching many things that you don't know where they have been ladies and gents

[BabyGirlCumm]

How do you get rid of scars?

Other than lazer sergery; I am too young for it lol ...soposely. :'(

[CloudZanmato]

My advise: If you have mild Acne then my advise is to NEVER BUY ONE PRODUCT THAT YOU SEE ON TV, NOT ONE.....EVER!!

Drink water and don't ever touch your face. Worst thing i ever did! Only try creams/ tablets that have come straight from your doctor.

Also ---> try eating apples and stop drinking milk for a noth to see what it does for you. It might help =]

[crazemelon]

ha I wish I knew that a year ago. I still have mild acne I eat really healthy, I use skin ID, And I exercise regularly, right after this I take a shower. I see improvement every once in a while. I also see some new ones as well soooo ya...

[dannBOY]

haha =D You''re scaring me ....now i don't want to ever touch my face ==''

[nintendoftww]

ya fuck her accent is hot,but ya dont pick at your pimples or sqeeze em it leads to scarring and bigger pimples trust me im not lying DONT TOUCH UR PIMPLES! god i wish i knew this before

[Jeseeu]

[smartbabe07]

[M0k3yBoi]

Damn... I picked mine for the past year...

[aznspunkmaster]

is there a way i can make acne scars less visible or clear up faster?

[maxabt]

lol did your voice crack for a second there? I thought you were about to cry. Oh well your skin looks amazing.

[Mekay24]

okay i have 2 questions.

1. i bought this pimple sucker thing from rite aid. after using it my pimple was super red and it didn't pop it. why was it so red.

2. there is another video of this girl using the biore black head strip and she actually showed us how they came off. do you recommend using the blackhead strip.

[BayumGirl123]

I only have bunch of zits.. but I want to nip it in the bud before it turns into major acne. Any simple home remedies? I don't want a course, I want a simple easy to do remedy that I can do without worrying about reading a whole report! ANY help?

[bulbouschick]

steam room. 15-20 minutes, then have a shower immediately - wash your body and gently exfoliate your face. Does wonders for detoxifying the skin.

[BlackKnight03]

Got to nip them in the bud, let them grow out it causes scaring regardless

[obeyfox]

lol, ur accent is hot

[obeyfox]

ur pretty

[aichausa]

You break tiny blood vessels and bruise your face, even though it isn't visible to the eye AND you're stripping your acid mantle. Furthermore, you're spreading the bacteria from the previously picked pimples to the following picked pimples. I used to pick as a teen and, though, some scars heal over time, with age, when your skin continue to age, you'll notice past scars. Good exercise, raw foods diet, acid mantle and not using makeup is the best practice I've discovered. I'm not selling a thing.

[candii10]

Well said. 100% true.

[ytgirl5]

i do this allll the time and i really want to stop picking so im gonna try going for 30 days without picking like you said :/

[Chucktatorshipz]

Omg shes like perfect.
