It is tempting, but popping or squeezing a pimple is not necessarily get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push bacteria and pus deep into the skin, which can cause more redness and swelling. Squeezing can also lead to scabs and may leave you with permanent pits or scars.

Because pop is not the good way to go, patience is the KEY. The pimples will disappear naturally, and leaving it alone less likely to be left with reminders that it was there. To dry a pimple up faster, apply a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel or cream once or twice daily. You can buy those at your local pharmacy.

If you're concerned about acne, talk to your doctor or a dermatologist.
