Pimple popping is the act of squeezing a pimple to release pus or oil buildup. While it can feel satisfying and provide a sense of relief, doing it incorrectly can push bacteria deeper into the skin, causing infections, inflammation, or even scarring. Dermatologists advise against popping pimples at home.
Instead, treatments like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, warm compresses, or professional extractions are safer options. Check out the video below
