Pimples, or acne, are not recommended to be squeezed if they have whiteheads, as squeezing is likely to cause further infection of the subcutaneous tissues, especially in the danger triangle, which may lead to upward intracranial infections.
It is not recommended to squeeze acne whiteheads by hand, as the nails or hands may not be sterilized, and after squeezing, it is likely to cause further infection of the patient’s subcutaneous tissues, exacerbating the condition. If the patient’s acne grows in the dangerous triangle area, squeezing with the hand may also cause upward intracranial infection, so try not to squeeze when acne occurs.
If the acne grows bigger and painful, it is recommended that the patient can go to a regular hospital for treatment by a professional doctor.
