No, it doesn't.
Medical evidence, please.
Oh, and "acne" and "pimples" refer to the same thing, one is just the medical term. |
Not true. Acne, means you have disgusting pimples all over your face. You can have a pimple, and not acne. :o |

well I hope it doesn't, I have been cracking my knuckles, neck, and back countless times everyday since 5th grade, and I am in 17th grade now, so 12 years I have been at it.
I think it would be hard to prove since there are so many other factors involved in arthritis. Just my guess though. |

I do it all the time, I'm addicted, I just can't stop! :nervous:
My girlfriend doesn't like it for some reason. None of the girls I know actually. How rare. |

| There isn't anything harmful about it. I had to sit and listen for 30 mins in my anatomy+physiology class while my teacher rambled on about the whole issue. basically she just said, no it's not harmful. :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: |

i don't know about knuckles, but for those that crack their spine (or neck) TRY TO STOP ASAP. talk to any spine doctor and you'll know that everything you twist, bend, crack your back, (or your neck) you not only release the air between the discs of your verterbrae, but you shift them slightly. over time, the curvature of your back can be shifted dramatically and one day you may wake up with your back locked up and in intense pain. reason i know is cuz my track team in high school had a chiropractician who was an ex footballer player come in to talk to us. he showed us pics of how one day he woke up and couldn't move his neck. reason? the discs in his neck verterbrae had rotated 180 degrees and had locked up.
occasionally cracking your back is fine tho i believe, just not excessively. |

acne and pimples are not the same thing.
acne is painful, systemic(endocrine system) and you cant really pop your acne cysts. You go on Accutane or some other drug to get rid of acne.
zits, pimples, blackheads etc, however are a clogged pore, and can be caused by hygeine and diet. this can be cleaned up by washing, popping them, and treatments like clearasil etc. |

It's called mild acne. :p
That's like saying that a cold means you're bug-eyed, have lost your voice, and are blowing chunks out of your nose every 10 seconds. Medical conditions come in varying degrees of severity you know!
Back to topic, I should have mentioned the first time: cracking your knuckles won't directly cause any problems, but if you have other things causing arthritis or RSI (genetics, for example), cracking things WILL make it worse. Not everybody is genetically predisposed, though, so a lot of people can get away with it.
J, you're not correct - everyone seems to assume that "acne" automatically refers to the most severe kind of acne. It doesn't, not necessarily. Some acne can be cured just by better hygiene, others are related to things like stress and are more severe. |
