    Would NEVER dream of popping spots though, that's not only rough but leaves scars, which imo are worse than the occassional spot. :confused:

    So you'd rather walk round with big yellow pustules on your face?

    I wonder if it went :chin:

    For the record, almay clear complexion stuff is good for drying them out.

    eeeew. I hate seeing people with spots with heads on them that just need squeezing soooo badly. How can they see that and not pop it?
    Maybe im just a bit obsessive about it, but i couldnt leave a big lump of pus just sitting under my skin.

    Thats very true, I once got a white-head spot which came up during the day and didn't know til I got home...the shame! :o

    :no:

    Not obsessive, I'm the same... I think it's worse to leave a big yellowhead on ya face than to pop it. Luckily, I think most people are secret squeezers... :thumb:

    I can understand why people do have them as i realise that if done badly it can leave scars or make them worse but if done correctly and gently then it's all done and dusted. :yes:

    Yes, because I'd rather have a spot for a few days than a scar for a few years.

    Stupid people. :rolleyes:

    But the yellow ones are supposed to be squeezed aren't they? Where does the infection puss bit go if you don't sqeeze?

    I can understand your view to be honest and think it does depend on the person and their skin.

    Stupid people. :rolleyes:

    No need for that really was there now. :no: Judging by previous posts you have a real problem with attitude ridden comments when people don't agree with your opinion. Can't understand why you can't just keep your comments mature instead of childish.

    i squeeze my dads blackheads for him after he's had a shave.

    it's like..monkeys grooming each other, except i don't eat what i dig out =P
    that is quite possibly the most wrong thing i have ever read *pukes*

    It went down a hell of alot but not completely, no. Still, it wasn't as noticable as it was. I wore concealer but it didn't work very well. Still, it didn't ruin my day :D

    Dermalmd Acne Serum got rid of the redness and acne in no time. I tend to get small acnes once in a while. My face looks clear in just one day after using the treatment.

    Hey @PriscaBelle, and welcome to the community. :wave:

    This thread is over 10 years old now, so I'm going to close it. We tend not to post in older threads or anything considered 'dead'. You can find out a bit more about why and some of our other more unspoken rules over in our Good Manners Guide.
