Acne Care Methods by Type - Yellow Acne

If yellow pus accumulates in the red, swollen center and the pain is severe, it is 'pustular acne'.

It is a more severe form of inflammation than papular acne, and requires special caution as it is prone to leaving scars.

Pustular acne should be squeezed out as soon as it is discovered, as the more pus accumulates, the deeper it penetrates the skin and destroys tissue.

However, if done incorrectly, not only the pus but also the skin tissue may fall off, resulting in a pitted scar.

If you are concerned, I recommend getting laser treatment at a dermatology clinic.

At the dermatology clinic, the pus is first extracted using a specialized acne extractor, and then treated with a laser to prevent scarring.
