Is it normal for pimples to turn green

Whenever I get pimples, after I pop them the pus comes back as a greenish colour and they are very painful, is this normal?

    Yes it is normal : a normal reaction of your body, and it is called an infection. stop poping them it's not good!

    Green is indicative of infection. Sounds like a sub dermal issue. Forget is it normal and go make an appointment.

    yes, popping them will only lead to more zits plus your skin will look a lot worse. Try using lemon and egg white. put it on and wait for it to dry and gently wash it off with cold water. Do that a few days in a row and it will clear up your zits in about a week or less

    No, you could have a infection or some kind of condition. You should see a doctor.

    Thats not normal, you need a blood test first and foremost.

    Erm.. I barely get pimples myself but I've seen people with bad acne, never green though. Maybe you're colour blind? ~ Don't mean that in an offensive way :)

  • yup, mine are like that too. Of course not GREEN green. Just a super pale green. I know what you're talkin' about! No biggie.
