[QUOTE=mr apple;26443112] I've seen that before. Lesson: Take a shower everyday[/QUOTE] That's a cyst.
Is anyone in here a dermatologist?

There are two types of zits: One is an infected sweat gland, and the other is an infected pour. The sweat gland is the zit with no white head, and when you pop it a small amount of "white stuff" comes out but mostly oil does. The pour is the infection that causes white heads and these mostly pop out pus. People tend to get a lot of scarring from the sweat gland infections because when you pop it and no pus comes out, you are not satisfied, the bigger it gets, the more you pop it, until finally it takes over your face and is ripped apart. What was a harmless zit is now a bleeding crater only left to scar.

I have some acne scars on my face, luckily they're not that bad, it's just the odd red mark, no dimpled skin or anything. I'm so glad I don't have acne anymore, still get the odd spot here or there though. And I have a bunch of blackheads on my nose which do not want to go away.
Popping Protip: A little Neosporin (generic: bacitracin) applied to the site of the popped zit prevents scarring.

'Cause the ones on my face fucking HURT to pop, Maybe it's just my Acne but it hurts like fuck to pop these, But it doesn't matter too much because they aren't too visable, it's mostly when you run your fingers around the skin you will find it.

I've never really had a zit problem, and even when I do they're not goo, but more like a solid hard gel like substance that retains its shape abd doesn't seem to spread the germs or whatever, but I've always had a problem with blackheads.
Acne scarring goes away eventually.
My brother who had really bad acne popped a lot of his zits, and he has a lot of scars.
[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;26439745]because it's foul[/QUOTE] Not popping them is MUCH more foul than not. My rule of thumb is if it's red, leave it. If it's white, pop that shit. If it's just a clogged pore, give it a light squeeze to see if anything comes out.
Medication helped my acne :buddy:

I genuinely have pretty bad Acne, it died down recently. But the top left of my forehead is like a fucking war zone at the moment.
I haven't had more than like...2 zits through my entire puberty. So no worry of a crater-face for me :smug:

If you have really bad acne, acutane, that is a
As long as you are not ripping at flesh and just remove the puss it will heal faster, scabbing is where the problem is at but yet again if you bleed don't go mining your face.
I hate zits on my ass. Once it gets big enough, you can barely sit. It hurs so fucking bad. Until I have had enough and just walks into the bathroom and pops the fucker. It feels so awesome afterwards. No pain or anything :buddy:
1. It can scar your face. 2. It can get infected 3. It's fucking disgusting Is that not enough?
