bumps that won't develop into full blown acne?

so whenever I have acne, i try to stop it at the beginning stage. after i do those things to stop them (like steaming, applying tea tree oil), they stop at the beginning stage and won't develop into swelling kind of acne which you can squeeze. (i mean, you are not supposed to, but you do it anyway. )the "baby-acne" will stay on my face as a little brownish bump.....and look like a permanent acne. it looks like an acne scar with bump! what should i do? should i just leave the acne to develop into the mature kind so that i can squeeze the thing out? (at least i will get scar instead of scar with bump)

    I usually catch any pimples when they are just little black spots in pores, or little tiny white bumps, can't catch them all though.

    I honestly just squeeze them out before they get bad, then use either alcohol or aftershave as an antiseptic and then to dry out the pimple. Take a hot shower for 15-20 minutes, apply aloe vera oil extract, then go to bed. In the morning, pimples are gone, or if it was a big one, it's gone in a day or so with repeated treatments of aftershave, shower, and aloe.

    I honestly think it depends on the individual person's skin whether or not squeezing them will make them scar. For me, following my little anti pimple ritual whenever I get a breakout leaves me with clear, scarless skin, noone can ever tell I have had pimples. So there is my 2 cents.

    Actually those little bumps are when the actual pimple is already dried up.. when the pimple is fresh you are not suppose to touch it at all because it will leave craters if you pop them early when theyre fresh.. once they are dry and brown bumps it safe to just push the junk out.. my aunt is a cosmetologist what she did was put a bowl of hot water so hot it creates steam grab a towel put it over your head put your face above the hot bowl (NOT IN THE BOWL) with the towel covering it , for about one minute or less and then proceed to push out those nasty brown bumps.. and you will see that junk come out.. :) hope that helps
