What are the key aspects to comprehend about popped pimples?Updated a year ago
A pimple is an inflamed hair follicle that is clogged with a sticky mixture of dead skin cells, sebum, and a lot of acne bacteria. The acne bacteria causes inflammation, which is why pimples are often red, swollen, and filled with pus.
Popping a pimple isn’t advisable, but when you have pus collected beneath the skin, we know that it can be hard to resist. Unfortunately, once you pop a pimple, you’re left with what is basically an open wound that’s ready for re-infection.
A popped pimple can easily become the site of a staph infection, or it can heal poorly, resulting in a scar that is incredibly difficult to fade without expensive, invasive treatments.
