Step 2
When you pop a pimple using your fingers to try and burst it, you leave a tear in the skin, introduce bacteria and are at risk of forming nasty scars. When you use a needle to puncture the pimple it make a small hole for the pimple to drain out of and will not leave nasty scars. First you need to find a sharp need. Run the needle under a flame using a lighter or cooktop to make it red hot. Convection can occur so hold it with a towel so you don't burn yourself. The process sanitizes the needle. Now run the needle under water to cool it off and then carefully using a mirror so you can see better puncture the pimple head. Do this slowly so you dont prick yourself unintentionally. Do your best not to touch the needle with your fingers or touch your face.

Step 3
After you have punctured the white head of the pimple you should blot it with a piece of toilet paper. Give the pimple a few minutes to drain. If there is still a visible white head then wash your hands with soap and warm water then try to squeeze the pimple to get rid of whats referred to as the root. When you are done you should wash your face and apply acne cream.
