Don't pop pimples because they could come back worst or they can scan over, leave them and let them go naturally x

Don't! Put tea tree oil on it. Try to not touch your face as well. If your do, they can bleed, scab over, and then scar. Hope this helps!

Don't do it unless you love scars. I always dry mine out with either a clay mask or Mario Badsecu Drying Lotion for overnight use.

Noooo! popping just leads to more pimples the bacteria on your hand mixed with the bacteria in the pimple that is now all over your face is a bad mix - just leave it alone and let your products dry it up or reduce inflammation also popping leads to scarring that could take years to heal where as this pimples life should only last 2-6 wks depending on how large it is - so don't do it!

If you don't extract your pimples, it will take a while for them to go away even with tea tree oil...you do have to be very careful about how you do it though, because a scar will most likely be left behind. don't worry about popping it causing more pimples from bacteria, this won't be a problem if you cleanse your face properly after extracting.

You can buy a popping tool from most beauty websites, and they're specifically made so that if you use them right it has less of a chance of leaving a scar. Just be sure to cleanse the spot properly after!

Just dry it with a dab of rubbing alcohol. If it cones to a head, using a soft damp cloth hold it on the spot, then very carefully and gently slide upward. The head will come off with less trauma then popping, and is less likely to make a scab.

If it has a yellow point or whatever you definitely should pop it cuz it will come back again after a while! So I think you should pop it untill you get a white hard thing out of the pimple. When you have that removed, wash your face good and put some lemon juice on the wound and leave at night! The lemon juice will prevent it from scarring!

Don't, it will get worse if you pick at the pimples. Just let them go away on there own, just be sure to wash your face. (;
