But toothpaste are not suitable for skin and therefore may cause irritation and rashes. • Popping the pimple will heal it faster- It is actually very bad because it causes trauma to the skin and may lead to inflammation and infection. • Food habits have nothing to do with acne- Those who eat more sugary foods, processed foods, and dairy products are more prone to getting acne and pimples.
