While I know the above answers are correct, I would still pop it. I have a terrible habit of doing that. When I have one on my face I go crazy and HAVE to pop it.
However, there are things you can use to simply dry the pimple out. Clean & Clear has a benzoil peroxide cream that works really well. Or any other pimple pruduct with at least 10% benzoil peroxide should do.

Pop pimples, and then wash your face with an Acne Soap. Then use Acne Cream. But make sure to wash your hands first, so that you don't get an infection.

I don't ever pop pimples, the puss and stuff that comes out of them can create more pimples on whatever it touches and it can leave scars. just use some cream to dry them out and wait a few days.

POP. Do it right though. Place a very warm facecloth on it first for about 4 minutes. Then don't squeeze, just place 2 fingers ( one on each side ) on each side and push down, not together. Then clean with Witch Hazel with a cotton ball.

Either. Letting them be takes longer to heal (clear up) If you pop them run cold water over your face to close all the pores. Try rubbing some rubbing alcohal over your face to dry them up too. Works for me! Good luck! :P

I've always worked on this principle, which i am pretty sure I got from a reliable source.
It is okay to *squeeze* spots as long as you do until blood comes, so all the 'goo' + blood before you stop.
I have never ever scarred ... and who want's white heads visable!
BUT don't touch red spots!!

Let it be. If you pop it, it is open to bacteria from the air, grease from your hands (or natural oils...) and from your hair, etc. You don't want it to be big and infected do you? Ew! Just put some pan-oxyl-5 on it, and let it dry itself up. Don't touch it!!
