Resisting the urge to pop your pimples is generally recommended, as popping them can lead to further inflammation, infection, and scarring. In most cases, pimples will heal better and faster if left alone to heal naturally. It’s important to keep the affected area clean, apply topical treatments if necessary, and to avoid touching or squeezing the pimples to allow the skin to heal properly.
