Whats the best way to treat a pimple? I know your not supposed to pop it, but what if its really noticeable and ugly?
i rarely get any, but when i do i pop em fuckers. Then apply some alcohol to dry it up. Gone the next day.

Do you just squeeze it, or is there a technique?
everyones skin is different. for some people popping them and they'll heal pretty fast, other people pop them and leave a massive red mark or even a scarr if theyre truly shitskins.
i think the dermatologist recommendation is to ignore it and let it run its "natural" course even if its gross, so it doesnt scar you. if you're really desperate look into concealers and shit, a tiny bit of concealer can make it a lot less noticeable, just dont overdo it and no one will tell you're wearing makeup..

I only pop whiteheads. I wrap a soft paper hankie or soft toilet paper around my index fingers because what makes it so bad is bacteria on your hands while popping the zit or skin damage around the area from pressing too hard.
I use a bit of tea tree oil to let it come to a head overnight and after i pop it. but it dries the skin severely so it might actually look flakey and uglier than before for a while.
