A member asked:
Is a must to pop the pimple when the white tip appear? or do i just leave it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a must: But OK to squeeze out the pus and/or sebum. This does NOT cause scars. It does NOT spread the acne. Everybody squeezes their zits. The most important action after is to clean off the mirror.
