Why You Shouldn't Pick!!!

Many patients ask me... why is it bad to pick? First off, picking causes inflammation and inflammation causes scarring in the form of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Secondly, you risk rupturing the follicle wall. A break in the follicle wall not only causes inflammation leading to PIH, but can also causes pit or crater scarring. For proper extractions, also known as acne surgery in Chico, California you need to see a skin care professional.
