It can be tempting to pop a spot using a pair of tweezers for best precision.Perhaps you think that it’s cleaner than using your fingers. But Dr Nainan says that tweezing pimples can push the germs deeper into your skin, making the spot worse, or it can spread the germs to other parts of your face, causing more pimples.She says: “It’s better to wash your face gently with a cleanser and let pimples heal on their own.“If a pimple really bothers you, talking to a doctor or dermatologist is the safest way to deal with it.”
