Do you pick at your skin/pimples/scars, etc?

[Leony]

No I don't.

I wish I could answer no, but I still pick at my skin occasionally. I think I should learn to do it in a more gentle way at least. I'm also guilty of resting my hands on my face...that happens often at school...LOL.

 

[girlie2010]

[princess_20]

[eclectic.soul1]

I don't really get acne anymore. It's been months, and I used to get some every day!! I try not to pick, if it's small and not white, I leave it alone. If it's disgusting, I pick the crap out of it lol. Fortunately I don't get scarring either. IDK why, they go away in a couple weeks.

Sounds like a good idea, I think I may try that since I tend to mess with pimples when I get them.
I read some dermatoligist give the advice that if you're going to pop a pimple, to do it with the ends of two q-tips. I've tried that, and all it did was break the skin near it and cause a would to my facial skin haha so I use my finger knuckles to prevent breaking skin (I don't use my nails).

When I do get them, I try to avoid messing with them, but it tends to be hard to stop thinking about once I realize I have them so I usually lose the battles haha

But yeah, The only time i "pop" is if it's a whitehead.

 

[kisska3000]

i do but i have this lotion and i apply it on and it kills all the germs and stuff i like my face to be clean

 

[lovecharm]

yes i do...it's that it's there..and i need to get rid of it so i try to pop it but it only makes it worse

 

[muziklover]

If there is something there to pick at or to pop I will usually pick at it or pop it! LOL But thankfully there is hardly ever anything there. I'm a bad bad girl!!! I just can't resist.

 

[crazychick]

all the time /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, everything goes.

 

[macydieterly200]

oh yes !

if im not sittin on the computer, im infront of the mirror popin them things.

i just cant stand them.but just be sure to becareful.

 

[Noir Sakura]

I do. If I let pimples or scars heal by themselves, they always leave darker/worse marks than when I pop them myself.

 

[Dreama]

I do even though I am not supposed to. Such a bad habit!!

 

[Aquilah]

Nope! No matter how much I really want to, I don't. I learned the hard way and created a scar when I was younger. I do admit to having a repeat zit on my lipline, and I will pick it once it scabs over. Only because it hurts like a b*tch if I don't!

 

[missroadkill]

i have a tendency to pick at my pimples when they're itchy, but i restrain myself because I know that it'll leave ugly scars!

But I like picking at dried wound scabs. Gross, I know.

 

[starduzt]

i do, well at least at the pimples anyway... Its gross when its big, but its gross as well when i popped them and the spot turns red... *sigh!
