Hi guys! This is Eva from Bay Harbour Med Spa! And today, I'm answering some questions
regarding compounds that we know of for that we have outside and whether they are suitable
for acne or for problem skin. So here is another compound that some people ask me about. And
that is iodine and some people ask me whether iodine is a suitable compound liquid to use
on pimples and the answer is categorically not. As iodine is actually not going to get
rid of your pimples, it's not going to help you. And if you know iodine is a compound
that used mostly in preparation cleaning and area cleaning the skin. Before a surgical
procedure, or before sutures are being put into the skin. Iodine is used, was used once
upon a time also you would pull iodine on wounds, on scrapes, on cuts. Quite sure that
all my generation of my listeners you would play and you would fall down and those days
iodine was not only in this era brownish blueish color. It was stinging, it was burning and
you shouldn't hate it. But some people thought that I guess they are people put information
out there that iodine is very suitable for acne and so no, iodine will do absolutely
nothing. With acne will do nothing with pimples, iodine will do nothing with ***. Iodine will
do nothing as far as extractions going on the skin. Iodine is strictly a component a
liquid that's used to sterilize and clean an area. All it will do if you use iodine
on your pimples on your acne. It will discolor your skin but it will not heal your skin,
it will not get rid of your blackheads. It will not get rid of your ***. It will not
get rid of your whiteheads. SO I can already here some people but how come when you go
to the doctor and you have ingrown hair and you have a follicle and you have abscess.
in your bikini area. And you go to the doctor and the dermatologist takes a cotton gauze
or piece of cotton and it dips it in iodine and it cleans with a tweezer and it cleans
the area before it makes an incision. Why is that used? I explained it before, because
he sterilizes it. He cleans the area that he's going to open. But this is not getting
rid of the problem. It's just for sterilization purposes. It's not practical to use on your
skin, in particular on your acne skin because it will do nothing on your skin. It will not
help you get rid of your pimple nor will it dry the pimple, nor will it get rid of the
blackhead or the whitehead or the ***. You only sterilize the skin and it will discolor
you skin and it will take several days before the brownish reddish color will go away. So
the answer is categorically no. Iodine is not suitable to use on pimples or on acne
breakouts. Okay. If you really want to know what is suitable for acne, you can go to my
website and you can read on my website and you can read what I recommend for pimples,
for acne breakouts. Until next time. Thanks guy. Bye! Eva.
