Teen alert! Popping pimples leaves scars! Here’s a better method of dealing with them

While I’m not your Mom, I too, was once a teen, so I know all about those dreadful zits and the lengths a kid will go to in order to be rid of them. Most often, once it’s made its unsightly appearance, either as a big red bump or an ugly white headed creature, that’s when you decide to pull out all the stops and start to pop pimples.

While you do manage to drain the pus from the white head, it’s done under duress upon your skin. The result?

A painful, big hole in your face. On top of that, it’s likely that you didn’t get it all!

Popping a pimple requires that you pinch it from the sides. In your zeal to kill it once and for all, your fingernails might also dig into the surrounding skin, actually creating a couple of little unsightly cuts. Even worse, you might get an infection from germs creeping into the skin through the large opening you left when a pimple is popped.

The bottom line is that you end up worse off than when you started. What to do is the question. Here are some practical answers for alternative, effective solutions on how to get rid of pimples fast.

There is an ointment, available at any pharmacy, under a number of brand names. It’s an old herbal mixture made famous by one of the great American eclectic herbalists, Dr. John Christopher. It goes by the generic name of ‘black ointment’.

It comes in a small tube and is quite inexpensive. Dr. Christopher used it to drain boils, which are far larger and deeper than a zit. Boils are deep and very painful abscesses. His black ointment draws out all the toxins and infection, drying out the abscess in very short order, all without leaving a mark.

Costing just a couple of bucks, this is an item you’ll want to have on hand. Why go in for popping zits when you have this, albeit unattractive, magical ointment to solve the problem?

If you have trouble finding it in the drugstore aisle, just ask the pharmacist. They’ll be able to direct you right to the shelf and aisle.

For the budding pimple – you know the signs – nip it in the bud!

While it may not yet show, you can feel it coming. Make a thick paste of rolled oats and water. Plaster a generous amount over the site of the wannabe pimple. Leave it on overnight.

Oats have a drying and drawing property. In the morning, splash lukewarm water over the site to rinse it off. You’ll feel and see the difference, in a less visible and healing pimple, with no unsightly – and noticeable – marks, as is the case when you invoke the popping pimple routine.

Another alternative to the rolled oats paste is a paste made with Aveeno(TM). Moms have used an Aveeno(TM) bath water to prevent scarring from chicken pox for decades.

Pimples being popped does leave scars. To remedy any scarring you’ve already got, apply vitamin E oil, in a strength of 28,000 international units, directly to the site of the scar. You can purchase this at any drugstore.

It comes in a small bottle and may cost several dollars, but it goes a long way. Again, this is a nighttime treatment, as the oil is very thick, but miraculously effective at removing scars, include those induced by pimple popping.

The final word: forget the greasy foods that add a load of oil which shows up on your face. Your fruits and veggies supply nutrients that are essential to prevent pimples. Use these remedies and stop popping your pimples for good!
