And does it leave scars/marks?

You should never SQUEEZE a spot. Do the opposite. place a finger of each hand on either side of the spot and GENTLY stretch the skin apart. If the spot is "ready" it will burst. If it's not, leave it alone or risk being scarred and pockmarked for life!

you should always avoid squeezing or poping spots/pimples. this is because you may not get all the acne out from under your skin and a much bigger spot an occur. however if you do manage to get all the acne out then you are in danger of an open wound and an infection could start. if it pops on its own dont worry it would heal up but my advice is to leave it alone and then sooner or later it would heal up on its own. most spots/pimples dont leave scars or marks but if it was a spot/pimple which got infected and took an extremely long time to heal, e.g. a long time meaning more than a month, then you could have a high possiblity of scar but dont quote me on that

It's bad- I'll usually take a pin-set the end of it on fire and wait and then pop! Everybody says NOOOO don't do it- but my skin is clear as a bell and no scars and I had them bad on my chin . But no Scars!! I would also wash my face before and after, and never use the towel again throw it in the dirty hamper.Sounds crazy but at night I would paint the pimples with clear nail polish in the morning peal it off and they'd be starting to clear faster. I know- Sounds Crazy -but It Worked For Me. I 'm Just Telling My Experience.

Yes it's bad and squeezing will leave scars, try some tea tree ointment or something like that

You should wash your face with a good astringent, don't pop them it does leave scars. For a quick fix try putting a bit of toothpaste on it, before bed, I hear that works pretty good.

So bad, causes scarring and generally makes skin worse. Don't do it.

it all depends on your skin... you don't want to pop a pimple unless it has come to a head, so it will take very little pressure. if you have very large pimples then you may have scares if you pop them or not. go see your doc if its really bad.
by the way you can't spread acne, and you can't give it to someone else

It can get infected and if its bad enough it can leave scars.
