I’ve seen this almost everywhere, 11 out of 10 persons I’ve met have warned me against pressing pimples growing on my face. They only suggest that I wait it out.
Anytime I ask, I always get a similar response, “it’ll make it worse”
But does it make it worse? And how exactly?

To be fair. If I let a pimple just be and try to dry it out, it’ll stay way longer (weeks) and grow larger and be more visible. But if I pop it when it’s ready, the pressure is gone, the nasty is out and it’s just a small wound that heals in 5 days.
Some important things to keep in mind for a speedy recovery:
– push all the nasty out, all of it. It shouldn’t feel under pressure anymore.
– keep it clean. Tissue in hand and always use a clean spot when wiping away the nasty or put pressure on it to help stop the bleeding/oozing serous fluid.
– don’t stratch at the scabs. That will slow down healing.
BUT if I don’t touch my face that much, THAT will prevent most pimpels. Prevention over treating.
