Sometimes yes. If you scratch a pimple the it will bother the skin around it causing it to take longer to heal. In some cases it can even scare.

Yes, definately, and it can scar and make more pimples.
If stuff like proactive is too expensive go to your local pharmacy and buy a tube of 5% benzoyl peroxide. Its the same stuff thats in proactive and it works.
If its really annoying you put ice on at night, then use a chamomile and tea tree mud mask, they work wonders.

yes, beacuse when you scracth a pimple you cause puss and all that other good stuff in the pimple to spread all over your face, thus causing it to spread and get worse...AND stay longer.

it messes with the healing process, your body will take care of it on its own... i put always toothpaste on mine to dry them out overnight...but id rather suffer the pimples than have scars to remind me
