It’s generally not recommended to pop painful pimples as it can lead to further infection, scarring, and prolonged healing time. Instead, consider using non-comedogenic products and applying a warm compress to help reduce inflammation. If the pimple persists or becomes increasingly painful, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for professional advice and treatment.
