I think it's better that you squeeze them actually, after you squeeze them it gives them the chance to heal.. I'm the same way, I squeeze mine too

Put a cold wash cloth around your face! It will help you relax and put band aids on your face (over weekend or at night)! Seriously it will keep you from popping them!

I have the same problem!! Literally like 40 minutes ago I popped one and I know it's bad!😭😭 I scar easily as well. Not just marks but indentations as well. Sucks.😔

Hmmm this is tough because its a mind thing. I do this with my nose (blackheads) a lot and the best thing for me to do is to try and distract myself. Easier said than done I know, but I also keep in mind that it only makes the problem worse. A good example of something to do is go paint your nails because then you really can't mess with your face because of your nails. Or do your makeup think about that it could mess up your makeup up so you won't want to.

Also since you mentioned you do this before bed, maybe try reading something every night instead, or come up with a new bedtime routine instead of going and picking at your face...

Oh Honey, I Feel Your Pain! I Have An Ocd Called Dermatillomani (Skin Picking) iPick At My Skin Constantly (Mostly Arms And Back) So I Have Extremely Bad Scars All Over\: But That's Besides The Point What Helps With With Not Picking Is Keeping Your Hands Busy With Something Or Keep Your Mind Busy Helps Not Pick At Your Skin I Use a Stress Ball,Stress Ring And Staying I Draw, Play On M Phone Ect Ect.. Oh And Try Staying Away From the Mirror So You Don't Find Something To Pick At!
Hope This Helped aLittle!

Put a note by your mirror where it's visible for you to see.

Same thing happens to me! I can never leave my face alone, and something even on my back (weird right). I also get dark spots easily too from popping some. But recently I've stopped picking on my face so much and it's really improved! Once you leave your face alone am you start to see how much better it guys you'll start to leave it alone. Also, murad is a great brand for acne, they have lots of treatments and cleansers. Doing masks for dark spots help as well!

Wear a pair of light weight soft gloves to bed. Light enough where they are not uncomfortable but they will be thick e nought that you can't scratch through them. Put them on when you put your pj's on to go to bed.
