You need to control yourself. You should put in mind that picking and popping the Acnes you have can just make it worse. Try to surf the net about acne sufferers who has severe acne because of picking and popping and imagine if in the future you'll be like them. Do you want that? Of course none of us wants to deal with this acne problems and feeling ashame of ourselves that decreases the confidence that we have and even trying to commit suicide because of depression and stuffs that you felt having the severe acne. So STOP picking and popping your acnes already! You're a big girl now you should control yourself! You know the difference between right and wrong! Control! Control! Control! Think of the future! Think about your future husband! And think about your future. Do you want to be ugly? Or beautiful? It all depends on you. It's your choice.

Hi guys, I could really use your help! Every time I get up in the morning, I go straight to the mirror and look at my face to see the damage from my hormonal/moderate acne. Of course, this leads to me popping and picking, and even popping the acne that doesn't have a white head. This has created red spots and scarring (but not the ice pick, rolling, or boxcar scars, just the little red marks) all over my face and they just won't go away. On one of my mirrors I put a note that says "DONT PICK" but even then I go to other mirrors in the house and just do it there. I have become more conscious of it, but I also find myself touching and picking at my face even without the mirror. I would really appreciate it if you guys can give me some advice to help me break this horrible habit, so it'll help my face clear up a bit. Thanks!

Hi - I would recommend you cover your mirrors completely. You really don't need a mirror to wash your face. I understand this may put a damper on putting on makeup - do you have a roommate/parent/sibling you're comfortable with who would be willing to hang out in the bathroom with you while you put on your makeup? I am sure you will be less likely to pick with someone else present. If not - I would recommend keeping all picking implements out of reach where you apply makeup (tweezers, etc.), and wear mittens or thick gloves on your hands while you apply.

If you find yourself touching and picking at your face without a mirror, keep your fingernails very short and your hands busy as often as possible. If you find yourself doing it when you're bored and alone, try to keep busy and distract yourself with something that involves your hands (writing, drawing, knitting, etc.) or stay in a public place.

Willpower is likely not enough to prevent you from picking, as it sounds like it has become compulsive. Making it as difficult as possible to pick even if you wanted to is the key - hence the gloves, covering your mirrors, and putting on makeup with someone else present.

Try picking your nails instead. From my understand skin picking is a compulsion (in the anxiety family). To try to break a way from it pick something else and then eventually try to stop doing it all together.

Well , i wont say anything about your picking habit but if you want to get rid of Red Scars or Spots then use Hydrocortisone 1% cream . Redness on scars will gone with the use of hydrocortisone n thn you can use other depigmentation creams
