No!!!!! They leave scars and it can infect them and make them more red. It happened to me, and I dont want that to happen to you. Popping is bad, especailly if you are a teen and you have a lot of them. Best Wishes

most professional papers will say no not to pop pimples .
however if a pimple is large raised and sore to the touch then punchering the pimple or lancing it is in order .
when you do this you need to put idodine all around the area.
this is so that the germs dont spread .
use a very new clean razor blade . you can get them from knifes used to cut open boxes. clean that with alcohol leave it in the alcohol for 20 minutes. then have some one with very clean hands apply the iodine all around the area and then make a cut from left to right or right to left across the pimple . the insision should be 2 mm deeper then the bump when the bump has been gently squeezed together . make the cut then squeeze very gently and it will all come out at one time a mass of white
material. then blood that is not pure it is still abnormal looking let that drain then when the blood is red and looks normal use a butterfly bandage to close the sight . again wash the area this time with more iodine then rubbing alcohol then dry with a clean bandage from a gauze pack no matter what size and then if needed put another new butterfly bandage on the site and leave that as is until it is healed.
this should only be done with a pimple that is raised sore red and is about 1/2 inch around . smaller ones should be treated with otc acne care products . you can not lance this on your own some one must do this for you a parent or a nurse or a doctor even a friend if they are trusted and smart.

NO.
Surely you already know that. NEVER pick, pop or squeeze pimples. NEVER. It's spreads the bacteria all over your face, it makes the pimple much worse and it DOES cause scars.
Never touch your face with your hands. When you are cleaning your face and putting acne medication on it, you need to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water. Otherwise, leave your face alone.

They use to sell those pimple poppers for blackheads -- popping a pimple is bad for the pimple itself as well as the skin around it. Scars will occur and bacteria will infect the surrounding tissue.

It is not good to pop pimple, for the short term, it's gone, but it will come back and the popping will further irritate your skin and bring on more.
Good skin care and acne medicines are the best thing you can do.

I have a couple scars on my face from ones I popped. Also every time I try to pop them, they seem to last longer and get more intense. I would recommend leaving them alone, besides washing with Dial soap twice a day. Good luck!

some say yes some say no.
I however pop them and make sure all the yuck is out of them then wash with normal bar of soap and don't pick at it and try not to wear make up. it'll be done in 2-3 days if you leave it alone!
acne sucks, I use to get it pretty bad as a younger teen but now at 20 I only get a couple zits when I'm around my period time.

It's bad to pop them, it can infect them and also spread the acne causing agents around your face. It can also cause some scarring. If you absolutely can't resist, squeeze it with two q-tips and dab some hydrogen peroxide on afterward to dry it out.

It reasons scars. The satisfactory way to get them off your face is to avert them earlier than they occur. By way of hanging on matters that you put instantly for your zit. Like a cream. Then wash your face like usual (but now not too much. Just each morn or night time) Then Put your spot stuff on your zits once more and so they must go away. Then once they appear like they want popped (appears like its gonna bust) pop it carefully. And in case you wash it an excessive amount of it's going to rationale zits on account that zits come to the skin of your face becuase that spot is dry inside your face so a bunch of oil gathers there and motives a zit so washing it too much will dry it our and smash you out more.
