Sometimes I pop pimples in the shower by accident and so the pus goes around my face as I wash.
Could this cause more pimples considering that I:
-Use a Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cleanser
-Use a salicyclic acid/glycolic acid toner after
-Use a BP topical 2.5% all over after

What is your opinion?

In theory it could, as the 'pus' is a combination of sebum (oil), dead skin cells and bacteria. However, showering would be enough to wash all that gunk away.

Yay! Plus i'd imagine that the toner would rub off half of it and then I layer on some BP to kill the bacteria :) Thanks!
