When I messed up after extracting ㅠㅠ

Actually, even though I know I shouldn't squeeze unripe sebum or acne, I find myself reaching for it whenever I spot it in the mirror.

I tried to extract a small pimple on my cheek again today, but it only irritated my skin, and I failed to extract it. I pressed it once, but nothing came out, so I pressed it several times, leaving a huge mark. Even though I tried hard to soothe it with an aloe pack, that area hasn't subsided; instead, the pimple has become red and swollen. I think I'll have to go to the dermatologist this weekend to get it extracted and receive an anti-inflammatory injection.

I think I feel even worse when I fail at extraction like this because of the guilt. I'm telling myself again today to refrain from self-extraction.
