"Whether it's a breakout cluster or only one blemish, it's important that you don't squeeze or pop the infected area," warns Jerdan. "Squeezing and popping the pimples can cause hyperpigmentation and scarring." Resist the urge and apply your favorite blemish treatment morning and evening to reduce inflammation and get rid of the acne-causing bacteria.
