We talked to experts about why you shouldn’t pop pimples, but if you’re going to — read this first.
When it comes to using a spot treatment, Dr. Zeichner says, “It is okay to spot-treat your pimples once or even twice per day. I typically recommend combining an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream with 2% salicylic acid and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide.” However, he cautions that products with benzoyl peroxide can bleach your fabrics., M.D.
After cleaning your hands and face, Dr. Shah recommends taking a straight pin and sterilizing the needle with a match or lighter. Once it cools, wipe the pin, your pimple, and your fingers down with rubbing alcohol. Then, holding the pin parallel to the skin, gently prick the top of the whitehead. If you draw blood you have gone too deep as you just want to pierce the surface of the whitehead. If it hurts, you're poking too deeply or the blemish isn't ready to extract.
Using your fingers can lead to additional bacteria exposure, and increase the chances of scarring, particularly shallow scars. Dr. Zeichner also recommends trying two cotton tipped applicators or a comedone extractor and apply gentle downward pressure over the pimple. He says that you should treat the process just “like a surgical procedure” and thus, not do it right before bed or when you are tired, because people tend to be less careful than they would be at other times of the day.

What the Hell Is Happening With the Ongoing K-Pop Drug and Sex Crimes Investigation?On March 13, I wrote about the details of sex crimes investigation that shook the K-Pop industry, a music entertainment engine often viewed publicly as virtuous and clean-cut. Seungri, member of mega-popular boy band BIGBANG (consider them BTS four years ago), was booked for supplying investors at the Seoul nightclub where he worked as a public relations director, Burning Sun, with “drug-addled” women to have sex with for money. As a result, he quit the industry, but the investigation into Burning Sun continued. During the probe, Korean singer-songwriter and TV celebrity Jung Joon Young admitted to filming women in sexual situations without their consent (which is prevalent enough in South Korea that there’s a specific word for it: molka). In the months since, the controversy has only continued to implode—which brings us to the latest news: Yang Hyun-suk, founder and head of YG Entertainment—one of the big three entertainment companies in South Korea, known for representing Psy, BIGBANG, BLACKPINK and 2NE1—has resigned from his position, Variety reports.
