Popping a pimple that is hard and deep can lead to several negative consequences, such as scarring, infection, and further inflammation. It’s generally best to avoid popping pimples, especially the ones that are not coming to a head easily. Instead, consider using over-the-counter acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, or consult a dermatologist for professional advice and treatment.
