What is the way to pop a big pimple on your chin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst vs abscess: Small whiteheads are generally different from pimples. Whereas pimples tend to be inflammatory active lesions filled with white cells, white heads tend to be quiescent cysts filled with dead skin cells that may remain stable or rise to the surface and rupture. Popping a big pimple could create a big scar.
