Can someone tell me, whats the difference between the white headed pimples and the red headed ones. I always seem to get the redheaded ones that you cant pop

The whiteheaded are much better, because you can pop them and they go away, but the redheaded ones just stick around and you cant pop them, can anyone shead some light on the situation??

BTW tell me if you dont know what im talking about

i know what your talking about and i get both. i think the only difference is that the ones with the white top are fuly developed pimples while the others aren't or don't fully develop at all.

all kinds of spots spread my advice is do not pop them as it will make your face worse and like boomerang said "the only difference is that the ones with the white top are fuly developed pimples while the others aren't or don't fully develop at all."

just a side note about what you said about popping them. i pop them when i can, but clean the area afterwards and i don't have any problems with more spreading. i guese it just varies from person to person.

Pimples ,blackheads and whiteheads are forms of acne. We may have thought of acne as limited to those red, bumpy pustules, but that is not so. All forms of acne are considered disorders of the pilosebaceous units of the skin, which are made up of the sebaceous glands, the hair follicle, and the hair strand itself. And like all acne, the problem with blackheads and whiteheads starts deep down the sebaceous glands, or oil glands.you can remove it through acne treatment.

you can pop the white ones because theres pus in there that you can squeeze out. in the red ones theres not enough pus to squeeze out
