It is generally not recommended to squeeze clogged pores yourself. Squeezing can cause further inflammation, push bacteria deeper into the skin, and possibly lead to scarring. It’s best to use gentle exfoliation, cleansers, and treatments with ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help unclog pores. If concerns persist, consider consulting a dermatologist.
