At a time when youths are growing into adulthood and facing a plethora of challenges and feelings of insecurity, acne can wreak havoc on even the most confident. It can ruin a special occasion such as when a huge zit on the nose grows overnight just before Prom.

Should it be popped and squeezed in hopes of minimizing it? Or will an inch of makeup disguise it? Or is locking oneself in the bedroom until it goes away the best choice? Hormones, emotions and stress just seem to make the situation worse.

Zits: Pop It or Cover It

Picking or popping the pimple will actually only make it worse as it can force the bacteria and pus down further into the skin and pores. And covering it with makeup can cause more irritation, swelling and redness. Try telling this to the teenager in angst over the situation. Suggesting they survey the room at the prom to see how many others have had a similar sudden outbreak won’t help either.
