I honestly don't think it's that bad for you. What I've noticed is if you scratch at it and scratch the top off, yes that will leave a scar/red mark for a while before it fades. I do suggest using one of the extracters which you can buy at Walmart for like three dollars. This is just my personal preference as I don't have the money to go to the dermatologist for every pimple I get. You don't have to take my word on it as I don't want you to ruin your face. I'm just saying I've never run into any problems.

Professionals have a different technic to get all the bacteria out and pop pimples. the thing is that if you pop a pimple and don't get all the pus out you might get it infected. you could get scars. but tbh it's never happened to me and I'm a pimple popper /.\. when I pop a pimple I immediately disinfect it. I disinfect my hands before popping a pimple. I would suggest doing it but if you're going to make sure you get all the pus out and disinfect a few times till the wound has healed. maybe you should just wait and use some treatment :)

When you pop pimples, it leaves scars and spreads bacteria making more pimples on your face

You're exposing your body to bacteria and pathogens just like if you got a cut. and while your body may not get exposed at all there is a risk that it can. it also may leave scars.
