It is not recommended to poke or squeeze a pimple yourself, as this can lead to further inflammation, infection, scarring, and can worsen the condition. If you are concerned about a pimple or need assistance with acne, it’s best to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for proper treatment and advice.
