"How To" cope with pimples

All teenagers get pimples throughout their teen years. We all know it is tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple won't necessarily get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push bacteria and pus deeper into the skin. This can cause more swelling and redness. Squeezing can also lead to scabs and may leave you with permanent pits or scars. Since popping isn't the way cope with pimples, patience is the key. Your pimple will disappear on its own. If you are patient and leave it alone, you're less likely to be left with any reminders that it was there. A health magazine said that if you want to dry a pimple up faster, apply 5% benzoyl peroxide gel or cream once or twice a day. You can buy this over the counter at your local drugstore. Each season will also bring out more or less pimples, so that is normal. Also, if you are constantly eating greasy foods you will see more pimples. Try and stay away from these foods and eat more grilled and natural things. Always remember, don't pop but be patient!
