I always pop them, wash my face, and then apply a small amount of aftershave over it. Stings like a bitch, but they never grow back.

Talking on the matter though, I hate those zits you get where they are under your skin (forgot the name).
Hurts like hell.
I always slashed them instead.
I don't pop mine.
Because I don't get any.
If you have to zap the white ones, cut it out with the edge of a tweezer or something, but don't pop it, that can push pus underneath the skin and cause other problems.
Black heads around the rim of the nose are annoying
popping spots is fucking disgusting. the only thing more disgusting is [i]other people[/i] popping your spots.
I never had acne. I get the occasional pimple, but they're fun to pop.

That's just the way growing up in controlled society has made you. If you grew up as humans are natively supposed too (cavemen in tribes), you'd not even bat an eyelid at the sight of someone getting their guts ripped out. Let alone a tiny little zit being popped.

Yes, those are the worst. They hurt like fuck and you just want them gone. I wait until there's the faintest circle of white there, prick the skin with a sterilized needle, and squeeze that fucker. So satisfying when it comes out with a loud "pfit".
[quote]People always told me doing so would cause scarring or something[/quote]
It does, I don't know if using fingernails/knuckles or whatever makes any difference but years of popping zits can leave you with a very nasty looking face.

Yep, I've found personally if it still stings slightly a few minutes after you've popped it, that it still contains some pus.
Also for those of you who love popping zits you may enjoy this video.

I don't use my fingernails, I use the bottow parts of my finger to pop them.

They don't hurt that much at all, it's just the annoyance that you can constantly feel it.

Humans weren't supposed to be cavemen in tribes. And I'm pretty sure seeing someone's guts ripped out would be fucking terrifying regardless.
You make it sound like I'm shackled to society's conventions whether I like it or not, and that you're liberated because you don't think it's gross to pop spots.

There has been a few times I've gotten so irritated by such zits I've actually used a knive to carve out a chunk of my skin just to get rid of them.
Hurt like a bitch but it felt so satisfying to get rid of it.

I shower every day, still some pimples. Your point?

No I'm saying society attempts to prevent exposure to such things. Because of this your brain doesn't know what is happening, and as such it feels fear of the unknown. That is why repeated exposure desensatizes you to such things.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;26443160]I shower every day, still some pimples. Your point?[/QUOTE]
Put a fresh towel over your pillow at night, change it every night, you'll see very minimal, if not no pimples/zits at all.
I've never "popped" a zit in my life, seeing as over 6 years of puberty so far I've only had a handful of them. However, occasionally when I would get them, I'd get the rare "Dcup tit zit" dead center of my chin(every. damn. time.). I used to just give it a day than go to the bathroom and rip the fucker off with my fingernail and wipe my face with a napkin for a couple minutes after that.
I think popping spots is disgusting because of fear of the unknown?
No, it's because I don't like getting puss and blood all over myself.
It seems far more likely that because puss and blood carry infection, my psychology is built to find disgusting. Society has fuck all to do with it.
Oh dear God...
I'm not an easily disgusted person, but that video is unnatural. How deep was the recess of that thing for it to have so much in it?
Also protip for smokers, smoking up out of a gas-mask can give you serious acne problems, as the only problem I ever had with pimple groupings was around my hairline from the smoke.

pimples inside your ear are the worst.
I hate blackheads omg
If you have a giant zit, then smear some toothpaste on it before going to bed.
In the morning, NOT EVEN THE SMALLEST CLUE OF A ZIT REMAINS! :iiam:
It has to be white tooth paste or your zit will asplode.
I have never seen a thread that was so appropriate for GD, until this day.
You don't magically grow huge scars from popping zits, but the pores in your skin widen. Wide pores means a greater chance of infection since more bacteria and dirt is likely to enter and clog them up. By popping your zits you're creating and evil spiral. Just wash your face and apply a moisturizer before bed instead. - If that doesn't work, go see a doctor who can prescribe something that will work.

That's how your skin ends up looking.

Pop it and rub them with alcohol
