If it starts to bleed, stop squeezing. Clean it with hydrogen peroxide or an astringent afterward so it doesn't get infected. DO NOT pick the scab!!!

They say u should not pop a zit cuz it could leave a scar (hence the word crater face or pizza face) if u can catch it b4 it gets a white head on it try to put colgate tooth PASTE on it when u go to bed.It takes them away. But if it's already white and ready to explode I guess pop it and sometimes u will have just a lil spot of blood-no biggie. but in the future try not to pop. and if u catch it early-try the toothpaste thing.

its normal, zits are a malformation of dirt stuck in a large pore. you need to remove the dirt or it becomes a blackhead, then a pimple. what you do i apply pressure to both sides of the pimple and squeeeeeeeze. the pain is only temporary and you may bleed a bit but keep in mind that you are breaking the skin of the pimple to remove the now white puss. if it bleeds its normal, if its hemoraging, its not. so no worries,just wash your face a little more often and youll be alright. Good luck friend

I'd just leave it. You'll push it in further and make it worse... spread the infection..
If you have to go ahead, heat it with a warm compress for a few min then gently squeeze. Disinfect it with alcohol (or whatever antiseptic you have) to try ward off further infection. Leaving it alone is best, though. It'll heal faster, trust me. get a topical treatment like Oxy or Clearasil... 5% benzoyl peroxide will dry it up quick.

Sounds like your body needs vitamin A supplements. All your zits will disappear!

the thing tht works for me is to pop until all the puss is out and a little blood comes out then wash it out with water and then put alcohol or some other disenfectant on it to take the redness away and keep it from getting white headed again

if you have a white head, pop it. but straight after, put some anti bacterial cream on it. savlon or detol will clear it up in no time. also, to get rid of pimples, salt water pools ya just cant go past.

thats nothing. even if it dose start bleeding just wipe the blood away with a tissue. it's nothing to be worried about

It will bleed, you are damaging your skin. Make sure you rub alcohol over it when you are done, you don't want an infection.
