Ever notice how those tiny white bumps on your face refuse to pop no matter how hard you try? Well, rest assured. They are truly un-poppable—at least without a dermatologist or esthetician’s help. They are tiny, harmless cysts that occur when dead skin cells get trapped under your skin. Picking at them often has little to no effect, and attempting to pop them will likely leave your skin red, irritated, and inflamed. But if it bothers you much, you can see your dermatologist.
