Treat That Irritating Pimple Under Skin

A pimple under skin can be a true pain – and while the jury is still out on the problem, the majority of dermatologists will strongly advise against popping a pimple. If you have a painful whitehead, however, popping it may be the best choice – provided you have clean hands and use a sterile gauze to reduce the risk of infection. If you have a zit deep beneath the skin, on the other hand, this option is definitely a no-no. Never squeeze or even attempt to “pop” any zit that’s still deep beneath the surface of the skin. These are referred to as subcutaneous pimples and disturbing them will simply trigger a lot more damage and risks permanent scarring.
