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?

It *can* make it worse, especially in case of the deep ones. They are contained, a small “battlefield” where anti-bodies duke it out with bacteria. If you manage to squeeze it *in* instead of *out*, you’ll spread the bacteria everywhere around and can expect a fresh wave of pimples everywhere in a day or two. Never mind introducing all kinds of new bacteria from your fingers to the new wound.
But if it’s on threshold of bursting, there’s no point waiting the last couple hours until it manages to chew through dead skin on top and makes the inflammation worse. Apply some antiseptic, give it a light squeeze from afar, remove the pus, apply antiseptic again, and be done with it.
