Squeezing of pimples...

Ok I know the topic sounds gross or yuckz to some people but forgive n bear with me... Recently pimples, soap opera and finding a new job are the main foci of my life hahaha!!!

I was pretty fed-up with the pimples that are popping on my left face... I counted and there are 11 of them in total! And my hair starts to irritate the right side of my forehead... So now, there are 4 new ones popping up there... My previous episode was even worst than my current situation but 1 month into the med, no more new kids on the block and the old ones are healing well, though the peeling is quite bad for the "dead" pimples... Haiz... The Doc had noticed the problem and he had pointed out that dust and irritants are the main cause for the slow healing...

So I started squeezing on the red and painful ones... Ok, I can "hear" some comments about scarring and serious inflammation... Hahah but no worries, I picked those which are real tender and disinfect my tools properly :-D Ended up, I was shocked by the results...

I got lots of dark red blood instead of pus!!! Well, initially I tried on 1 that is real swollen and tender. With some gentle probing, the dry skin came off and some fluids ooz out... Den with application of some force, "pop" came out splatters of blood and only little pus... I let the blood flowed freely till it stopped before applying antiseptic... My apologies if I caused you to throw up or lost appetite...But... I sort of like the process;-)

That is when I realize that not all the "pimples" are the normal pus filled type, rather that perhaps the infection had gone but the blood and other fluids from the infection remained... Umm... after the success with the big big one, I tried another few small ones today... I got almost the same results... I guess the blood and "gore" either needs external mechanical force of bursting it or it will need some time before it subsides...

Hahaha being the impatient and typical "nu yi yue zhe wei rong" type, I guessed I will speed up the process with mechnical bursting and use antiseptics n whitening products to reduce further inflammation and hyperpigmentation ba ;-)
