It is not advisable to pop a blind pimple with a pin. Doing so can push bacteria deeper into the skin, causing more inflammation and possibly leading to scarring. It is better to apply a warm compress to the area multiple times a day to help bring the pimple to a head naturally. If needed, consult with a dermatologist for appropriate treatment options.
