Pimples, zits, acne, pustule, hickey, papule etc. are few of the many words in English language that goes on petrifying people around the world. Nobody likes a pimple on their pretty face, not only because it mars their immaculate look but also because, well, there is no reason to love a pimple, is there?  No matter how hard you try to look your best, a teeny-tiny pus filled pimple can wreck all your efforts in a jiffy.

It all begins when those ugly blackheads or whiteheads start to appear on your skin and in no time it turns into an angry red pus filled pimple. This is the stage in the life cycle of the pimple where you might want to stand in front of a mirror and pop the pimple to annihilate its existence like it was never there to begin with. But trust me that is the last thing you would want to do once you become aware of its fatal repercussions. A pimple is nothing but a sack that holds oil, debris, and acne bacteria. When you poke your pimple’s outer skin, all the bacteria junk oozes out and God forbid, if that junk settles inside the other pores, it may lead to more pimples growing on your face. Or even worse, the bacteria on your finger may cause the pimple to become more red, inflamed, swollen and infected and may even lead to permanent scarring.
