Why does it disturb the healing when we pop our acne, but it’s fine when dermatologists extract it for us?

Question

I mean, assuming we still try to keep it sterile with alcohol the way they do.

Answer 1

I always just assumed it was because a dermatologist would use the appropriate sterilisation and cutting procedures, whereas people doing it at home probably won’t. Still, I always pop pimples at home with rubbing alcohol and never had a problem, I don’t have acne though.
