It is not advisable to try to push the blood out of a bleeding pimple. Pimples that bleed are usually already inflamed and trying to squeeze them can lead to further irritation, infection, and scarring. Instead, it is recommended to gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply a clean, cold compress to help stop the bleeding, and avoid picking at the pimple to prevent worsening the situation. If the bleeding persists or the pimple becomes increasingly painful or inflamed, it’s best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
