What do i do if i pop on of my pimples and they start bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don’t pop pimples : Popping pimples is not recommended as the process may drive bacteria deeper into tissues. If you bleed, stop it with pressure on the area, until a clot forms. Styptic pencil could be used to cauterize the area if needed. There are good OTC products for acne, and Rx products as well. Limit your dietary oils, and wash your face regularly with a gentle soap.
