Harmful effects of acne shaping habits
Causes serious skin damage
Acne is actually an inflammatory response of the body to fight bacteria and sebum stuck in pores. When you use your hands to shape acne, the strong impact will damage the skin's structure, causing tear in the skin's licorice and making the wound heal longer. In particular, if shaped incorrectly or too strongly, the skin can become bruised, swollen and have long-term consequences.
High risk of infection
Our hands contain countless bacteria, even if washed, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of infection. When hand acne or implements are not properly cleaned, bacteria can easily penetrate an exposed area, making acne worse. In many cases, the infection scattered, causing inflammatory acne, acne, and even leading to dangerous complications such as sepsis.
Increased risk of leaving scars and dark spots
One of the most obvious consequences of shaping acne is canker sores and dark spots. When the skin is deeply damaged, the body will produce collagen to recover. However, this process is not always perfect, causing the skin to become sluggish (hollow) or hyperpigmented (deep acne). It is worth mentioning that these scars are often very difficult to treat, requiring time and high costs to recover.
Causing acne to spread
Many people mistakenly believe that molds will help get rid of acne quickly, but in reality, it is completely opposite. Bacteria and sebum from acne can spread to neighboring skin areas, making acne worse. In particular, with inflammatory acne such as pustules and cysts, mistakenly forming acne can cause bacteria to spread deep into the skin, causing more serious inflammation.
Negative impact on psychology
Not only affecting the skin, shaping acne can also create a mentality of anxiety and self-consciousness. Many people are haunted by having to "clean" acne on their faces, leading to the habit of scanning the mirror and constantly molds acne. This not only causes increasing skin damage but also increases stress and anxiety about appearance.
How to limit acne formation?
Keep your hands away from your face: Limit touching your hands to avoid spreading bacteria.
Proper skin care: Cleanse your skin, moisturize and use the right special product to control acne.
Scientific acne treatment: Instead of self-molding acne, see a dermatologist or reputable spa for safe treatment.
Patience: Acne cannot go away immediately, so you need to persevere with scientific treatment instead of rushing to force your hand to shape.
