I’ve popped a pimple, and it’s still full of pus. Should I try to squeeze the pus out?

No, you should not try to squeeze the pus out of a pimple that has already been popped. Squeezing it further can lead to more inflammation, potential scarring, and the risk of introducing more bacteria into the area, causing further infection. It’s best to allow the area to heal naturally and keep it clean and protected to prevent further irritation.
