Is it normal to eat pimple scabs?

I have a bad habit of popping my pimples and eating whatever comes out. Then I wait for it to form into a scab, and I pick the scab off and eat it. I used to do it more than I do now... I'm trying to stop, but I can't help it sometimes.

    Thats just nasty. Seriously, think of what comes out when you pop a pimple. All that bacteria? You really want to eat that?

    It's not normal but it's probably not too much of a problem if you don't do it in public.

  • hm. I don't eat what comes out of my pimples. But if I have a scab (pimple or like, a shaving cut) I'll eat it. It's really not a big deal if you don't care about small scars. =)

    Yeah, I used to do that too. I knew it was gross, but I just felt compelled to for some reason. It was hard to quit, I had to actively think of not doing it for awhile.

    Google it. People do it but it's not ideal, plus it only makes your scars worse!
