Draining a pimple is generally not recommended unless done by a healthcare professional. Popping or squeezing a pimple at home can lead to further inflammation, infection, and scarring.

If you have concerns about a particularly inflamed pimple or acne in general, it’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
