Young Woman Pops A ‘Pimple’ Above Eye, Then Staph Infection Almost Blinds Her

Most of us, when were teenagers, probably spent some time popping zits. Let’s face it, they are gross, and they have to go! Yes, there are masks and creams that are supposed to help eliminate the risk of developing pimples, but they are expensive and many times don’t work as well as we would like!

To set the record straight – it is not a good idea to pop those unwanted blemishes! Popping the zit may make it worse or even leave a scar.
