pimple extraction - #17319

Simran

I am really stressed out about my skin right now. Like, I never used to get many breakouts, but I guess since last month, I've had all these weird pimples showing up, and they're sooo frustrating! I went to a dermatologist, and they told me about something called pimple extraction, which sounds a bit intense, right? I mean, I totally get that sometimes these pesky pimples need a little extra help, but r u sure it's safe? They made it sound like pimple extraction could help prevent scarring, which totally freaks me out! What if it makes it worse? I’ve read mixed stuff online, like some say it’s super helpful while others say, nah, just let it be. Until I went in, I didn’t even realize there were different techniques for pimple extraction. Is there a certain kind everyone should be aware of? Honestly, I'm so ready to just get this over with, but I'm worried about side effects or if the pimple extraction would cause more breakouts or redness afterwards. Any advice from those who have gone through this? What should I ask my doctor before going for it?
