Resisting the urge to pop your pimples is generally recommended as popping them can lead to further inflammation, scarring, and potential bacterial infection. In most cases, pimples will heal better and faster if you leave them alone. It’s advisable to cleanse your skin gently, avoid touching your face too much, and use topical treatments recommended by a dermatologist to help speed up the healing process.
