If a pimple has a white tip, should I squeeze it or not?

Acne, this annoying little thing, always comes uninvited, especially when we least want it to appear. It is caused by clogged pores and imbalance of skin, which leads to skin problems. The skin's self-protection mechanism is activated, and the skin guards similar to white blood cells clean up excess oil, help acne to shrink and fall off, showing the process of skin self-purification. So, when acne appears white tip, how should we deal with it?

Is it a good thing for acne to have white tips?

Acne is mainly caused by bacteria and inflammation. When the skin is infected by inflammation and bacteria, the white blood cells of the skin's immune system will kill and engulf the bacteria. When the white blood cells engulf the bacteria, the acne will become shriveled, fall off, and get better. The appearance of white tips on acne is a natural process of inflammation, indicating that the blockage has been discharged, which is a good sign.

Correct handling method :

1. Prevent infection: Wash your face and hands thoroughly (disinfect or wear gloves) before squeezing pimples, and also disinfect the tools used to squeeze pimples.

2. Do not squeeze with your hands: Use an acne needle to squeeze down. Never squeeze out the oil with your bare hands, as this will cause serious damage to the local skin, making it difficult to heal and leaving acne pits and acne marks.

3. Use acne patches : After squeezing the pimples, pay attention to the disinfection of the epidermis and use acne patches as soon as possible to avoid reinfection.
