If there is no open area of the pimple, then no bacteria spreads.

If you pop a pimple with your finger by accident, can the bacteria from inside the pimple spread from your finger to other things even if you wash your hands? I never pop pimples so Im nervous the stuff from inside is going to get on other things?
If a pimple pops and the stuff inside gets on something like a mirror or your fingers can the bacteria spread to other objects? I touched a pimple and it popped and I dont know what the pus might have gotten on?
