I'm quite :confused: and :mad: at the same time

On magazines, people advice, specialists, I've been aware that squeezing the skin when having acne worsens the condition and that one should see a dermatologist instead. I had an aesthetician did the extractions on my severe acne and I used to think this would not be the case at the dermatologist office but I was wrong. Why do the practise it when they themselves don't recommend it in say "editorial mentions", etc. Is It that they can squeeze the gunk out of the skin and yet leave no scarring at all.

Please clear me up,

Hi,

You have my sympathies. I had a similar experience before. My first facial was a really painful experience and it was done by a beautician recommended by a friend. My skin had more outbreaks the next day, huge red ones. When I spoke to her about it, she said that the outbreaks is necessary for the skin to heal. Humbug! I ditch her naturally. Now the beautician that I use is very gentle on my skin.

Did you experience any adverse after that squeezing session?

Well, they spent most of their lives studying these things so they're trained professionals... with dermatologists you are ensured that they can fix whatever happens to your skin due to their actions, because they know the right kind of medication to treat this stuff.
