What makes picking at your face, create more acne?

"Pop" claim: To my knowledge, there's never been a scientific study done to see if this is true. Since it's very hard not to pick at these things without meaning to do so, it gives people an opportunity to blame you for a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related disease that can be managed easily if you can get somebody to get you to a competent physician. You have my sympathy. Best wishes.
