It is generally not recommended to squeeze or pop a pimple that is full of pus. This can lead to further inflammation, potential scarring, and the spread of bacteria. It’s best to allow the pimple to naturally come to a head and then use appropriate acne treatment products or consult a dermatologist for safe extraction if necessary.
