Does Popping Zits Cause Scars?

I have noticed that readers have many questions concerning popping zits and pimples, so I decided to take time out to answer them. Does popping zits cause facial acne scars? Well, the answer to that it yes and no.

Zit | Pimple Size and Depth


Depending on the size of the pimple or zit in question, you may end up with some kind of scarring if you choose to pop it.

In addition, every person has a unique make up so there is no certainty on this subject. This may or may not happen.

Risks of Acne Scars


Acne in general alone can cause scarring, and popping them will increase the risks of potential scarring. This is a personal decision that one must make. What is more important to you? The short-term effect where the pimple will not be as visible on the surface? Or the long-term effect where you will have a rather large pimple on your face for a week or so, but there is a better possibility that in the future, there will be no visible marks or signs of where this pimple once was?

Well, most likely you already know the answer to the major question concerning acne scars. You are only looking for a possibility that you may be wrong. Ultimately, this decision is up to you, and I can only recommend that you think long and hard about what it most important to you personally.

So true, popping zits could cause scars. It is better not to pop it or you'll regret in the end.
I'm confident of the product I'm using right now, it doesn't only remove acne, but also acne scars, without side effects at all.
