It is generally not advised to pop cystic pimples, especially if they are deep under the skin. Popping them can lead to further inflammation, infection, scarring, and potential spreading of bacteria. It is recommended to treat cystic pimples with topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, or consult a dermatologist for proper treatment options.
