The constant irritation can cause scarring, redness, pain and inflammation. In extreme cases, infection can set in, warranting medical treatment. Speak with your local dermatologist to find out what methods are out there to help prevent and battle zits. TIP! Sometimes the temptation to pop a zit and drain the pore is nigh-irresistible. Although popping these areas is not the best option, doing it with dirty hands only worsens the condition.

Do not touch your face, when you suffer from pimples. You can spread infection on your face by transferring the dirt and skin oils from your fingers. Make an attempt to keep your hands away from your face. Just rubbing your nose, resting your chin on your hand, or sweeping hair off your face can all make pimples worse. Clean your face as often as possible, especially if you are sweating because of the heat or exercising. Bring along a pack of moist towelettes if you know you will be out of reach of running water and skin cleansers. These wipes can clear any bacteria you may have on your face.
