Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is a severe and inflammatory type of acne that, if left untreated, can lead to more severe infections, increasing the risk of scarring and dark spots. Cystic acne lesions are deep and often painful, and squeezing them can cause further damage to the skin.
Nodular Acne
Nodular acne forms deep within the skin, creating a red, inflamed lesion that impedes the healing process and often leads to permanent scarring. Attempting to squeeze these lesions can not only increase the risk of infection but also cause permanent damage to the skin.

Nodular acne lesions form deep within the skin, often resulting in permanent scarring if not properly treated.
Blackheads and Whiteheads
Blackheads are formed when the oil-producing glands, or sebaceous glands, become oxidized and are commonly found on the nose. Both blackheads and whiteheads should not be squeezed as it can damage the skin, enlarge pores, and lead to infections. Additionally, squeezing can spread bacteria, causing other types of inflammatory acne.
Blind Pimples
Blind pimples are a type of acne that forms deep beneath the skin’s surface and are not easily visible. Attempting to squeeze these pimples will only result in skin trauma and scratches, leading to infections and making the acne worse.
Squeezing pimples is often seen as an effective and quick way to get rid of acne. However, it is important to note that only specific types of acne, such as blackheads, whiteheads, and small non-inflamed pimples, can be safely extracted. For larger pimples with a well-formed core, such as cystic acne, pustules, or blind pimples, professional extraction techniques are required to completely remove the core and prevent recurrence.

Proper extraction techniques are crucial to completely remove the core of pimples and prevent recurrence.
If a skincare professional does not use the correct technique, ensure effective sterilization, or handle the extraction process too aggressively, it can lead to skin damage. Instead, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for expert advice and treatment. Maintaining a proper skincare routine with suitable products, practicing good hygiene, and adopting a healthy lifestyle are essential for managing acne.
It is important to pay extra attention to acne in sensitive areas, such as the lips and around the eyes, to prevent skin damage. If the pimples are small and not causing any discomfort, you can allow them to heal on their own. However, daily cleansing and proper skincare are crucial to accelerate the healing process and prevent the acne from worsening.
