The dermatologist in me wants to say no, but the human in me wants to say no.
Yes.
I think the key, if you're going to release a pimple, is to wait until it is very, very white at the top.
So a lot of people try to pop pimples when they're red or sort of that deep cystic acne, and that's not going to pop well because you don't actually have a little pocket of pus.
But if you have that like really superficial white bump,
with clean hands, warm compress ahead of time.
It's not my preferred thing, but I think if you're going to do it, wait until it's at that point because otherwise you're just going to give yourself a world of hurt.
It is so satisfying though.
It's so satisfying.
And a lot of us in dermatology will also talk about this sort of like triangle of death around the nose and the mouth area that you really shouldn't pop your pimples because bacteria can travel retrograde into the veins that communicate directly with your brain and people can get like deep infections.
So anything around the nose, like those deep ones there,
We generally say like, please don't touch.
Wait, how often does that happen?
Very, very rarely, but enough that I wouldn't pop a pimple there.
So you have vessels throughout your face, but the vessels around your nose area and that run through the center of your face can communicate directly with the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the back of your eye.
So if you were to get filler, which can clog a blood vessel and stop blood flow into the vessel that supplies your eye,
you could go blind, which is why it's so important that you go to a reputable injector, that they're taking all the right precautions, because these are very rare complications, but obviously completely life-altering.
Absolutely.
If they don't have a really sound understanding of that anatomy, there's no reason they should be blindly placing a needle or product into your face.
And that is the problem here.
