It’s generally not recommended to pop hard or deep pimples as it can lead to skin damage, scarring, and potential infection. Instead, you should consider using over-the-counter acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help reduce the pimple’s size and redness. If the pimple persists or becomes painful, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for proper care and treatment.
