Popping a pimple may feel refreshing, but the real care begins afterward. If you don't properly manage your pimple after popping it, the redness can persist and even lead to scarring, so caution is advised.

Today, I'll be explaining everything from the causes of acne to how to manage acne after popping it, how to manage acne at home, and even treatments that can help with acne management!

1. Causes of acne

Acne is a skin problem that affects many people, regardless of age. The causes of acne are as follows.

 

1) Excessive sebum secretion

Excessive sebum secretion causes acne. When sebum secretion increases excessively and clogs pores, bacteria proliferate, leading to inflammation.

 

2) Changes in skin environment

Additionally, in the case of adults, acne can occur due to a combination of factors such as changes in the skin environment due to stress, lack of sleep, and irregular lifestyle habits.

 

3) Wear a mask

In addition, wearing a mask for a long time can irritate the skin and cause inflammation around the chin and cheeks.

2. Post-acne treatment

When you have acne, you pop it, but the important thing is post-popping care. After popping, you may temporarily experience redness, a burning sensation, and oozing pus. Therefore, skin care is necessary to restore your skin's condition.

 

1) Minimize stimulation

It's said that minimizing irritation after popping a pimple is important. On the day of extraction, it's recommended to wash your face gently and avoid irritating activities like scrubbing or peeling.

 

2) Use scar prevention patches

It's said that using scar prevention patches can be helpful for post-extraction acne care. These patches block external irritants and bacterial infections, preventing scarring caused by secondary damage.

 

3) Skin regeneration care

Immediately after extraction, the skin becomes sensitive to external stimuli. Therefore, it's important to take care of skin regeneration and scar management. It's recommended to first apply a soothing and moisturizing product to the entire face, then apply a regenerative cream to the extracted area.

3. Home Acne Management and Prevention

It's important to take care of your skin to prevent acne. Here are some home acne care tips you can try at home.

 

1) Reduce excessive washing

Washing your face too often can damage the skin barrier and cause acne, so it is recommended to wash your face 2-3 times a day, and using a mildly acidic cleanser is helpful.

2) Washing makeup tools

Also, if you regularly wear makeup, it's said that regularly washing your makeup tools can help prevent acne. You should also wash your makeup puffs and brushes regularly.

 

3) Use non-comedogenic products

When it comes to cosmetics, it is said that using products made with non-comedogenic ingredients that do not clog pores rather than products with too much oil can help manage acne.

4. Acne Management Dermatological Treatments

Self-extracting acne can lead to scarring, so it's best to seek professional help. Here are some dermatological procedures that can help manage acne!

 

1) Basic care

Basic care is the foundation of acne care, and is said to proceed in the following order: extraction, white peel, anti-inflammatory injection, and soothing pack.

Aqua Basic Care is basic care with Aqua Peel added, and is said to help remove sebum.

The price for one session of Maypure Basic Management is 40,000 won, and the price for one session of Aqua Basic Management is 60,000 won.

: It is best to avoid squeezing acne with your hands as much as possible as this can cause bacterial infection and scarring.
