It is generally not recommended to pop pimples, especially if they are painful. Popping pimples can lead to infection, scarring, and can worsen inflammation. It’s best to treat the pimple with gentle cleansing, over-the-counter acne treatments, and allowing it to heal naturally. If the pimple is very painful or does not improve with home treatments, it may be best to consult a dermatologist for further advice and treatment.
