The temptation of popping pimples is high and sometimes you're unable to resist it. But popping pimples has its side effects. Although the pimples have gone away, what usually remain is a small hole and blood might come out if it's too ripe.

When you remove the germ along with blood, this can cause infection on your skin and might degenerate if you don't get proper treatment. If you do get the necessary treatment, this can be healed with time and the hole will vanish.

If you didn't squeeze the pimples and let them cure by themselves after following the proper acne therapy, this can work as well.

So the debate to whether you need to pop and remove pimples is still well opened. But for me, I think that squeezing and popping out the pimples is not a shortcut to get rid of them. When you intentionally open them, you will irritate your skin and delay the healing much more because you would have already created a small hole in your skin.

The pimples will pop out by themselves with time if proper treatment is given or they might also disappear and fade away.
