Know When to Stop
Know When to Stop Usually, you'll know that a pimple has been completely drained once there's no more pus coming out. "If you start to see a little blood, stop squeezing. Continuing to do so only leads to more swelling, redness, and possible scarring," says Lee. And if you started the popping process but nothing is coming out to begin with, stop immediately. This may not be a pimple that can be squeezed and it's best to see a derm if it doesn't go away or continues to get larger, she adds.
