When you don’t pop a pimple, it will typically go through its natural healing process. The body’s immune system will work to fight the bacteria causing the acne, and the pimple may eventually shrink and heal on its own. It’s important to avoid picking or popping pimples to prevent scarring, further inflammation, and potential infection. Proper skincare and treatment, like using gentle cleansers, topical acne medications, and keeping the area clean, can help the pimple heal more effectively.
