[acne] [misc] Anyone else prefers popping blackheads / pimples / whiteheads instead of waiting?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Yeah, I know. Funny thing is, my skin if better off if I pop a whitehead or a pimple if it comes up. I prefer dealing with a scab for three days and mild PIE for another three days than treating a bump for weeks.I don't actually suffer with acne anymore, only an ocasional pimple or whitehead. My derm told me that when a comedone comes up there is nothing I can do, only extract it, and if I can't hold myself, I should do the following: warm (not hot) compress over the whitehead / blackhead, gently pressure it until the sebum / keratin / gunk comes out, sulfur lotion over it (it's somehow similar to Mario Badescu's, but mine also contains calamine, alcohol, camphor and resorcinol) and that's it. If the area is red I slather myself with Avene's Cicalfate. The redness stays for about 30min or so. Then I wash the Cicalfate off and put the sulfur lotion over, to avoid contamination. No scarring, no PIE, nothing.Regarding the pimple, I do the same (my derm thinks I am crazy and doesn't get how I am not covered with PIE): gentle pressure until the ALL the content is out, wipe with Avenes Cleanance MAT toner, massage with Cicalfate, sulfur lotion. When the scab starts to form I use moisturizers over it more frequently, then it comes off. Sometimes there is some mild PIE, so I follow with my usual routine until it fades.I AM **NOT** ENCOURAGING ANYONE TO START POPPING THEIR FACES, I WAS JUST CURIOUS ON WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
