Hallo, this is only my 2nd thread on acne.org.
Recently my worst fear came to reality, a nose pimple (albeit a small one). I did what most people would advise (didn't try to pop it) fast forward about a week and the pimple was completely white/yellowish at the top but it was also hard like a scab but not a scab, so I figured It would be safe to remove it because all the puss had become solid right? But no. when i took it off I could see some remaining liquid pus, so I squeezed it a little (not wanting to leave it open with puss sitting there) and a TINY bit of puss came out and just a very very small (not even a drop) of blood too..
I'm afraid i've done the wrong thing and it will scar I only removed it because I thought it was safe to do so if the white/yellow stuff had become hard instead of soft and tender like it was a few days ago..
Sorry, I know this is long..
I had ANOTHER similarly sized pimple on my right cheek, so once again I refused to pop it until it was HARD but the pimple had other ideas. It popped whilst I was asleep despite all my efforts to sleep on my other side, so by the time I woke up the puss had become hardened and was hanging loose from where the pimple was. So, I removed it.
Will I scar?? It seems that even when I don't pop them AT ALL my pimples still leave red marks.....
