 |
|
I have a bad acne scar that is still healing away (4 months now)..but now I noticed a small white puss tiny pin size zit, in the eye of it, and I want to pop it and clean it out.
I know this will just make it worse and go back to square one again.
..Anything I can do to get this white out without more damage. Someone told me pop it and clean with lemon juice.
Should I just be patient? |

| Try local application of 2% salycilic acid. |

Pop it and clean it out. Just don't push down when you pop it. I don't about the lemon juice though but a salicylic acid wash is what I'd do. IMO, the problem of making it worse for most zit poppers is they don't pay attention to the pore after it's been popped. People who get their pore's "popped" all the time by estheticians or cosmetologists usually have great skin. Get rid of the gunk and heal. |
