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

Just some second hand info that was passed to me from a cosmetologist (different from dermatologist) from my younger days. In the end, it comes down to:
-Keeping things clean, use sterile tools and disposable lancets instead of a comparatively blunt needle. Wash your face afterwards to make sure you didn’t just spread bacteria to a bunch of other pores.
-Using the correct tools to apply pressure correctly without damaging the surrounding tissue and to effectively drain the pus as well as that little hard ball that blocked your gland in the first place. Using that right stick with the correctly sized wire loop or spoon with a hole in it.
-Your pain tolerance might not allow you to apply the needed pressure. Now you just popped the zit and opened up another door for dirt and bacteria to get in.
-Correct timing. Some zits zits aren’t ready to be popped and you’ll have to apply too much pressure to drain it. Some are too far along and you might as well let it dry out on its own.
