Author: Well should you or shouldn’t you? The answer to this questions varies from situation to situation. In most cases, the answer would emphatically be NO. There are times when popping or squeezing a pimple is a good option.
How do you determine this? The answer being: how big is the pustule? If you are faced with a tiny, pinhead sized pimple, that baby is just asking to be squeezed. You can do this very effectively. Make sure your hands are clean. Wash the pimple gently. Steaming your face over warm water for a few minutes is beneficial. In many cases, if the pimple is that small, it will break open on it’s own. Boil a needle in water to sterilize it first. If you choose not to do this, you may spread the infection. Your other option is to squeeze it between very clean fingers. Once the pimple is drained, swab the area with a good disinfectant. Peroxide is good or even a treatment with benzoyl peroxide works well.
However, if your pimple is the size of a mountain, please leave it alone. If your pimple has not come to a head, please leave it alone. Squeezing these two kinds of pimples may cause scarring of the skin tissue. While you may be able to drain the pimple, you are most likely spreading the very bacteria that caused the pimple in the first place. The pimple will definitely take longer to heal. Dermatologist never recommend popping or squeezing pimples.
