I’m trying to resist the urge to pop my pimples. Will they heal better if I leave them alone?

Resisting the urge to pop pimples is generally recommended as it can reduce the risk of scarring and potential infection. Pimples will typically heal better and faster if you avoid picking at them, as popping can cause the bacteria and debris to spread, leading to more inflammation. Allow the pimple to heal naturally or consider using over-the-counter spot treatments to help speed up the healing process without picking at it.
