Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to inquire about this disease. What should I do if endocrine disorders cause acne on my face?Doctor's answer:
Acne requires attention. Never pick, squeeze, or pop pimples. On average, the life cycle of a single pimple is only as short as 3 to 4 days. If you use your hands or tools to squeeze them, it won’t help at all and may even cause secondary infection due to bacteria on your hands. Additionally, the force of squeezing can lead to subcutaneous bruising, leaving behind scars that take 4 to 6 weeks to disappear. Moreover, wounds caused by picking and squeezing, when repeatedly irritated, can result in fibrosis of the skin, forming raised, permanent scars.
