Should you pop pimples?
Although it can be incredibly tempting to pop pimples, doing so can backfire. Most of the time, it’s better to let the pimple pop on its own.
Whether caused by puberty or stress, having acne is never fun. It may help to think of pimples this way: They are holding in bacteria, oil, and grime. They’re actually a form of protection. Your skin has a very effective method of healing pimples. By popping them yourself, you are interfering with your skin’s natural process. In fact, when you pop a pimple, you release the bacteria onto your face, increasing the chances of getting even more pimples.
