HELP! Tried to stop habit of popping blackheads and acne, but I did it and scratched the skin off my nose?

I have mild acne, but sometimes it gets somewhat moderate.





Anyway, I used to have a really bad habit of popping blackheads, which made my skin red.





I stopped the habit for a while, and my skin was like 95 percent clear.





Anyway, today for some reason I saw like 4 HUGE blackheads on my nose, so I squeezed REALLY HARD, and my fingers scratched a few layers of skin off my nose.





Will this scar? it is HORRIBLY red. How long will this take to heal, and how do I stop this habit?HELP! Tried to stop habit of popping blackheads and acne, but I did it and scratched the skin off my nose?
Stop the habit with this treatment. It works wonders.


and will quickly and permanently rid face of blackheads, white heads acne and reduce pores.(See USERS happy


responses below).


Quite vigorous massage using certain essential oils will work. They have been used by specialists to treat and cure acne as they do not clog and they actually reduce oiliness of skin. Sweet almond, pure lavender, cypress are good.





First tighten skin by tightening face muscles so you will not be pulling skin. Use tips and front of fingers and palms depending where on face you massage. Do with a forward and back not circular motion


If do for 15 to 30 min min.daily (Doesn't have to be all in one session) blackheads, spots will vanish and pores will reduce in as little as 2 to 3 days.





If massage entire face you will quickly have a radiant, tight, firm, totally blemish free, healthy skin and you will not need to use any other product or treatment ever again - not even moisturizers. Oils are perfect moisturizers. Do not remove oil, wipe away any surface excess with water and tissues. Does not leave face oily looking.

';Omg, I've been following your advice and massaging my face vigorously with oil for the last three days and I see results already! Thank you ever so much..this could be the solution to my all my skin problems. I'd messaged earlier asking about the pores on my face. They're very large and EVERYWHERE';.

';Hello Mukunda, i just wanted to drop you a line to say a big thank you. Your massage method works brilliantly. I have one question, you know once my skin is all nice and spot free ..... should i stop the massaging? or would you still advise to massage everyday for 30 mins?';

I think it depends on if your skin is prone to scarring or not, but it won't scar if it's just the top layer of skin.





If you find a way to stop it let me know. I'm 29 and still do it!

Long term help...





THIS IS MY LONG ANSWER FOR ALL OILY SKIN/ACNE PROBS...TRYING TO COVER ALL I KNOW ABOUT ACNE/SPOT PROBLEMS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE...SO HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE SOMETHING HERE TO HELP!!! SOME MIGHT NOT BE RELEVANT DEPENDING ON YOUR SEX BUT I HOPE SOMETHING'LL BE HERE FOR YOU!





I'm 35 and I still get spots/pimple clusters from time to time and even when they go, they leave reddish marks for ages and my skin looks blotchy.





I use clean and clear or neutrogena clear skin - both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. And crazy as it sounds - the toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn't make a mess. I dunno how it works but it does!





Any female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmin contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal, that can sort out the kind of hormonal pimples you might get monthly!





Also I'd recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex and Omega 369 oils every day because that ensures you're getting the right nutrition and also, the omega oils improve blood flow.





Also...keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!





Another suggestion is the scrub you can get called 'resurface' or something like that - made by L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it's own moisturiser which I don't use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.





And my final suggestion is 'sheer cover' mineral foundation. You see it on infomercials a lot...tacky I know! But it really works. You can buy it on eBay too so it's easy for you to get some to try it out. You use the tiniest amount but because it doesn't settle into enlarged pores and it contains minerals that reflect light, it disguises any kind of 'scarring' and also it stops you getting spots because it doesn't block pores. The minerals in it reflect light a bit too which acts as a kind of concealer. It's hard to explain but it's fantastic. Just make sure not to use too much - and apply with a kabuki brush starting from the outside and working in so you don't end up with an over made up nose!





I know people say make up's a no no - but because this doesn't block pores and has the added effect of stopping you touching your face too much, I think it's good. You can wear it on its own too and as long as you apply it minimally, it covers but doesn't look like you've got make up on.





Good luck with it hun XX





PS - if you can get them, clean %26amp; clear do these blotting paper things - in the uk I find I have to order them in from Hong Kong or somewhere cos they stopped doing them here - but they're REALLY good.





And if your face gets really greasy, just blot with a tissue if you can't find those. Some tissues are to fluffy so I tend to carry around a few sheets of kitchen roll for the purpose!!!





PPS - If you get your skin relatively under control, try using '21 day Fade Cream' (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. I can only use it once a day though because otherwise (even though it's a 'cream-gel') it can make my skin a bit greasy again so I tend to use that at night but only during periods that my skin's doing 'good'!
I've done that before. I don't have any scars, but it did scab for a few days :( Just keep it clean, and put on an oil free moisturizer if you can. And keep hands off next time :) Or, if you just can't stay away, put a hot damp washcloth over the area for a minute or so first, then push only with your knuckles, or fingers with the washcloth over them, so your nails don't get in there and do their damage. Make sure to clean your skin afterwards, so the bacteria doesn't spread and create more. Good luck :)
