A member asked:

I was having a pimple on face with white head when i burst it its whit portion got into my skin would it become in pus ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, that's pus: You're almost grown up and your acne is now your responsibility to manage. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, phone your personal physician and make an appointment. The pus itself does not spread the acne.
