Squeezing sebum out of your pores can indeed be bad for your skin. When you manually extract the sebum, you risk pushing bacteria deeper into the skin, causing infection and potentially leading to more severe acne or scarring. Doing this can also cause inflammation and further aggravate the skin condition. It’s generally recommended to use gentle cleansing techniques and appropriate acne treatments as mentioned in the provided articles to help manage acne effectively.
