When acne appears, it is not easy to resist the temptation to squeeze it out. This is because you want to get rid of it quickly. While acne is often caused by hormonal influences, it frequently worsens due to improper care.
Never squeeze or pop acne with your hands. While there are cases where acne must be squeezed, using a sterilized tool is necessary to prevent inflammation.
Even when applying acne ointment, always wash your hands and the affected area thoroughly with soap before application. This is because if bacteria enter already sensitive skin, it can lead to pus formation and leave scars.
Masks restrict ventilation and cause moisture to accumulate around the chin, creating an environment where bacteria can easily thrive. Do not reuse worn masks, and be sure to replace them with new ones if they become wet from moisture.
