do i pop a pimple when it turns yellow and crusty?
or do you have a remedy in mind to avoid such things that i heard can cause scarring or the skin or brain infection

Instead of squeezing it to pop it, pull your skin away from it. Basically do the opposite of the motion you’d use to pop it.

Talk to your doctor or an dermatologist about this.

Also if you get alot of pimples, sun and bathing in salt water will help.

well what i read is that if you pop the pimple in the face it can go in the blood stream and into the brain
Since it ain't medical advice, here we go.

If it is yellow, it's a blocked pore, and is already going to scar. Pop that ♥♥♥♥.

Wash your face, go buy something with 5% bezoil peroxide from the face wash aisle, wash your face more, get some sun, and see your doctor.

You will not get brain rot from popping a pimple.

Wth... I have NEVER heard of this.. I have heard you can get scars from pimples sure, but not brain damage. How would it get into the blood stream? .. I'm confused, but I'm no doctor so might be true, but it does sound like some BS.

Theres a rare chance of getting ablood infection/blood poisoning that could damage the brain if you mess with spots on your face and head.

I always make an incision in the middle of any spot I get and drain the puss out. Then I clean the empty inside with anti-bacterial soap. Usually they heal up just fine after that.
Thankfully I don't get many spots.

Since it is a clogged pore, it's can't unless it is MASSIVELY deep and infected.

Did you read that on the internet? You’d probably want to ask your doctor about it.

It's a staph infection, if yellow and crusty. Clean the area with a warm to hot cloth, pat dry, apply the antibiotic ointment, and then cover with a clear gel to prevent reinfection.
