Answer 5

When you pop Acne pustules, wipe over the area with an astringent such as Clearasil lotion.

This will kill the Yeast and any bacteria which are causal to spreading the condition to other skin pores.

Large pustules should not really be squeezed, as unsightly as they seem, it is better to use the astringent and dab that more frequently onto the large pustule, this will dry it out as it kills the yeast inside and means the enlarged pore will not become infected. As it shrinks the membrane of skin on the spot will naturally weaken and residual pus will ooze but the pore will not have been so stretched as to leave a  deep pore scare like Chicken Pox scarring.

Yeast Acne is common in adolescence, as you know, but eating healthy foods and avoiding oils and grease as well as too much sugars will help keep them down.

If your Acne gets out of control and more large spots appear than the small ones and pustules are large, you can use a cream, rather than an astringent, containing Benzoyl Peroxide which is totally effective against more acute Acne.

Here, i found a page which gives good info on this.

Answer 6

sometimes they could get infected and this leads to more pimples and spreading of pimples, but hey if you do it correctly and clean your face properly go ahead.
