Can pimple stickers help you?

Can pimple stickers help you?

whatever you want to call them can seem harmless they can do real damage. These facial blemishes are not bad for your skin long term but they can cause social anxiety that will impact people’s mental health. That is why we take any new treatment seriously as it may help to combat the damage that pimples cause. The latest trend in the market are pimple stickers. Do they work and should you use them?

A spot or a zit can feel like the worst thing to happen. It usually targets people in their teens who are going through puberty but depending on what study you read it also impacts between 15% and 50% of adult women. The reality is that nearly everyone suffers from a pimple at some point and it really is no big deal. It doesn’t mean you are unhygienic (although it can), it doesn’t mean that you are going through puberty (although it can) and it definitely doesn’t mean you are strange or different, so why do we treat it like it does?

The pimple stickers currently being released in the market are effective at fighting surface-level spots. If you suffer from more chronic acne then the pimples stickers won’t really work. The stickers are designed to dry out a pimple faster, block it from the sun, stop you from picking at it, and keep it clean. All of these factors will accelerate the healing of your pimple. The skin-colored stickers will also help you to disguise the pimple while it is healing. 

If you have chronic acne that comes from deeper in the skin these stickers won’t help. However, those who suffer from chronic acne often suffer from surface-level issues too so it may be a positive additional treatment for that.

Some pimple sticker companies are now trying to tackle the bigger issue, the stigma associated with these pimples. As already pointed out, nearly everyone suffers from these spots from time to time and it is nothing to be ashamed of, so people shouldn’t hide in their rooms or cover their faces when they have them. That is why sticker companies are now releasing bright and bold stickers that no longer aim to hide the pimples. You can stick a gold star over a pimple and feel like you are healing it but not hiding it.

The company says that the stickers aim to give those who suffer from pimples some confidence back and to fight the stigma that exists. Studies have shown that people who are more prone to pimples are also more likely to experience a fear of social interaction. This shows the real damage that pimples are doing.

The good news is that if you have a pimple you may not have the ability to get rid of it straight away but you do have the power to deal with it in the right manner. Look at it for what it is, a simple spot. Don’t let a small spot interfere with your social life or self-confidence. 

In terms of treating the pimples themselves, the stickers will likely accelerate healing a little bit. They have hydrocolloids in them that will dry out your pimple quickly. Some also have salicylic acid benzoyl peroxide which has been used for some time to treat acne and can certainly help.

There you have it. If you have more serious acne, then the stickers won’t work. If you have a small spot then they will help to speed your recovery. However whatever about the pimple sticker, the bigger question you need to ask is how you feel about the pimple itself, and are you letting it impact your mental health?
