Will Lancing Cause Scars?

My friends are telling me a good way to remove pimples/whiteheads is to poke them with a pin and then squeeze them out. Is this going to cause scarring if I do it wrong somehow? I really hate pins, but just popping acne normally gives me awful scars. I just don't know which is the better method.

Thats not a good idea, it'll probably cause scars and it's going to hurt. You can definitely remove pimples naturally with:

Toothpaste overnight
Honey+cinnamon mask
African black soap
Pure tea tree oil or
Clearasil/cetaphil cleanser

If you use a pin to pop them it won't because the skin over a pimple is pretty much dead just remember to heat your face first (hot shower or hot water in a basin with a towel over the back of your head) if it is ready to pop then the pin won't have to go far just a prick should do. :) hope I helped
