Is it better to pop pimples or just leave them alone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pimples: Best to leave them alone. "Popping" pimples increase the risk of infection and it will cause inflammation so they will look a lot worse from a distance. Check with your doctor. There are many products for cleansing and topical treatments that can help decrease the number and severity of acne.
