If you apply a hot wash cloth to them first, then gently push out the pus, but not the blood. Yea, that should help. You can also lance them with a pin that you first sterilize by holding a match to the pin until it turns red hot.

Sort of. Popping the zit will get some of the bacteria out of it. However, the wound that is left after you pop the zit might take longer to heal, especially because when you squeeze the zit you damage the skin around it.

No, it makes them heal slower. If you can, keep your hands off of them altogether except to wash and dry your face. Use a good soap that has a neutral pH (like Dove) and wash your face with very warm water to open the pores and allow the dirt to get out. When you get through, make your final rinse cold water which will close your pores and prevent impourities from getting inas easily. Don't pop those zits!

if you pop them at exactly the right time and just get the puss out , not the blood, ok just a little blood, they should heal a little quiker, even go so far as to dab some aftershave on the site to clean.
all zits are, are just a build up of oil in a pore and gets infected, thus white blood cells attack it and walla, a killer zit, wash regularly and cleanse with a alcohol base cleaner to get the oil.
good look, (luck)

nope. it will only make it worse.
to cure zit fast. apply fresh un-diluted lemon juice on area and wash it off after 20 minutes. u will experience burning sensations.. but it will soon dry out the zit.
another way for fast cure is to apply retin A ointment on the zit, then apply face cream. bec retin A ointment will make area so dry, the zit wont even have time to grow t maturity. most times, it will just stop growing. so better apply facial cream after the retin A. would be ok to apply at the same time.

Nope. Zits last 2-3 days if untouched, 7-10 if picked at.

Not really; but if you pop them don't do it by squeezing because this can push the "gunk" further into your skin. Pull them apart so that they do actually pop. Then wash the area with some soap and water. You might want to put some antibiotic ointment on the spot. This ointment is available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy.

Sort of; when you pop it, you force the area to heal it like any other injury. Not recommended as it can lead to scarring and a worse infection, but who wants to walk around with a couple extra eyeballs?

If they get popped you spred the infection and could make more around the area.
DON'T PICK OR POP
