Is it okay for me to pop a razor bump?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not the best: Popping bumps is not the best practice. It is better to let them open up and clear on their own. Squeezing a bump with pus in it always poses the risk of introducing infection into the blood or surrounding tissue.

No harm: Everybody squeezes their zits. When the sebum and pus is cleared out they heal faster and better. If there is an ingrowing hair it can be freed to grow out.
