Question: Should you squeeze a spot? Sorry not a nice question but just wanted to know!

Damien Hall answered on 18 Jun 2011:

I don’t think you should. And I speak from some experience, unfortunately! The reason why is that, when you squeeze the spot, you leave a little hole in your skin, and infections can get in through it. Also, if you’re unlucky or have very bad acne, after a while when you keep squeezing spots that appear in more-or-less the same place, the skin will not heal properly and you’ll be left with little marks on it that won’t go away.

So you should resist it! Even if it is satisfying sometimes …
