Squeezing a blind pimple, also known as a deep acne nodule, is generally not recommended as it can lead to further inflammation, infection, scarring, and potentially pushing the infection deeper into the skin. It’s best to allow blind pimples to resolve on their own or seek professional treatment from a dermatologist. Applying warm compresses and using spot treatments containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
