Edema: It's possible but not recommended to "pop" a blister or pimple. It is not generally recommended to squeeze acne. The pressure can actually cause the infection to go deeper, leading to an abscess or scarring. If it's a blister you should leave the covering skin intact to help prevent infection. If it's a viral infection (like herpes), opening the blister may cause spreading of the infection.
