Why is it bad to press pimples on your face?

778 views

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?

In addition to the other comments, popping the pimple creates an opening in the skin which scabs over. Many people don’t leave the scabs alone, which can increase the likelihood of a scar, either as a spot or crater.
