While it’s nice to squeeze our pimples or try to get rid of them on our own, it’s very nice for people other than ourselves. see how you do it feels so relaxing.

Why do we continue to do this when we know this behavior is not right, and when we see a video of someone squeezing their own acne in front of our eyes? Why can’t we pass by this and continue to watch with great admiration? Have you ever thought?

Right now, people who enjoy videos about acne are more likely to be disgusted when they watch them than those who are disgusted by them. much better tuning ability owner.

Another opinion is high curiosity.

Previous research has shown that watching this generally negative content can affect some people. reward system of the brain He said he could take action. In summary, it can be said that people who like to watch videos about acne have a much higher curiosity drive than those who don’t.

While squeezing our pimples usually gives us satisfaction, dermatologists recommend not continuing this behavior persistently.

While squeezing our pimples makes us think we can get rid of them, the blow we deal a pimple is actually leaving that area prone to infection and causing the pimples to spread further, resulting in scarring. it causes. In this case, it is very helpful to clean the acne area regularly and get the opinion of a dermatologist.
