The Psychology of Popping: Why We Can’t Resist Squeezing Zits

Zit popping, a widely debated and oddly satisfying activity, involves breaking the surface of a pimple to release its contents, such as sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells. Although some find it gratifying, dermatologists caution against it due to risks like skin damage, infection, scarring, and spreading bacteria. Even as many seek immediate relief, safer alternatives, like topical treatments or professional extractions, are advised to maintain clear skin without DIY risks.

Zits inside the ear are uncommon yet uncomfortable due to the ear’s sensitivity. These occur when hair follicles clog with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, leading to tender bumps. Contributing factors include poor hygiene, excessive earwax, or dirty earphones. While harmless, persistent or painful ear zits may need medical consultation to avoid complications. Maintaining ear hygiene and avoiding excess moisture can help prevent them.
