Episode notes
Root Causes of Acne
- Acne is caused by excess sebum and bacteria triggering the immune system.
- This immune reaction causes the skin inflammation we recognize as acne.
Safe Pimple Popping Guidelines
- Only pop open comedones like whiteheads or blackheads using disinfected compresses and clean hands.
- Avoid popping cysts or inflamed pimples to prevent tissue damage and infections.
Post-Pimple Care Tips
- After draining a pimple, disinfect gently with hydrogen peroxide, not alcohol which is too harsh.
- Keep the area moist with healing cream or patches to aid healing and avoid scars.
