Having any kind of inflammation of the skin can be irritating and embarrassing especially when they appear on the face. These inflammations range from rashes, acne and pimples accompanied by itching and redness, etc. Pimples usually occur when small skin lesions also known as sebaceous glands or oil glands which are located at the base of hair follicles, gets infected with bacteria. The infected gland becomes overactive, swells up, and then accumulates pus.
When you’re staring in the mirror and a pimple is staring right back at you, the first thought that comes to mind is how to get rid of the protrusion as soon as possible. This urge could be really strong, you just want to squeeze the pus out of your face. It happens to everyone, and worse so when it usually appears at a not-so-good time – right before a party, a special date, a family thanksgiving or just on the day of a photo shoot.

Why Burst it Anyway?
Dermatologists and well-trained estheticians know how to get rid of a pimple safely without causing further harm to the skin. They wear gloves and do not use bare fingers to contact the pimple, some lance a pimple with a sterile needle, then remove the contents with an instrument called a comedone extractor. Why not leave this dirty job for the pros to handle, it may cost you just a few Naira but the result is worth more than a broken face with pus leaking out profusely...
