I’ve got a pimple that’s really inflamed, and I’m hoping to get rid of the pus without popping it. Is there a safe way to do this?

Gently applying a warm compress to the pimple can help soften the pus and promote drainage without the need to pop it. You can soak a clean cloth in warm water and apply it to the pimple for a few minutes a few times a day. This method may help the pimple heal on its own without causing further irritation or potential scarring.
