JT511 0 Share Posted December 10, 2006 So basically, if you have a whitehead and don't pop it, will you not get a scar/ get a lesser scar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tp85 0 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Yeah, picking will put you at a greater risk for infection, but you may get a scar anyways. Everyone's different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masterk 0 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Yes that was a rule I learned very early on. Dont pick or pop unless u have to. If you do then usea sterile needle and poke GENTLY pushing to rid the spot of infection. Unless its a really big head dont pikc or pop. Never squeeze out blackheads use those strips for that. I didnt pop and I scarredso whatever but still I am sure I would have had more had I popped them. Pimples suck while u havethem scars suck forever unless u are lucky and find treatment for them that works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg06 0 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Comedone Extractors with an extremely low risk of scarring can be used to eliminate white heads as opposed to just trying to pop them. But use them sparingly....ask your dermatologist about these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
