whenever a pitbull rears its ugly white
head the best thing you can do is leave
it alone
pop it and you'll release a flood of
infection that could spawn more pimples
here's how pitbulls are bulging bags of
oil and bacteria under the skin to have
nowhere to go
normally these bags contain oil
secreting glands called sebaceous glands
you have the most sebaceous glands on
your face and scalp oil moves out of the
glands and up through your pores to
lubricate and waterproof your skin and
hair but sometimes dead skin cells and
bacteria get inside the pores clogging
them up with nowhere to go the oil
builds up around the glands like an
expanding water balloon it pushes
against the skin's surface
which causes redness swelling and pain
popping the pimple can relieve the pain
but doing so only wins the battle not
the war
according to dermatologists Michelle
Rodriguez at st. Vincent's Hospital
Melbourne squeezing it can result in
these contents being pushed into
surrounding skin making the problem
worse it can also lead to infection and
temporary darkening of the skin in that
area also squeezing will further
irritate your already inflamed skin if
the inflammation gets too bad it could
lead to scarring
acne is the most common skin disease
according to the National Institute of
Health approximately 80% of people ages
11 to 30 suffer from occasional acne
outbreaks so what's the best way to beat
the blemishes patients if you resist the
urge to squeeze pimples will usually
resolve over a week or so without
scarring
