So I use a salycilic acne regimen and my pimples are getting dried out, not my skin. The products are skin friendly. When my pimple gets dry, it's usually a pretty big whitehead, with some inflammation around it. After a couple of days, I wash my face, and the head of the zit comes out. It doesn't bleed or anything, it just falls and leaves a little hole in my face. But it's still red and inflamed around it like a normal pimple, but without a whitehead. My question is, should I pop it to make sure there's nothing left behind? If I leave it, will skin grow over it, trapping the puss, and making things even worse? Any responses will be appreciated, please help, thank you

I cleanse as gently as I can so that the head falls out naturally (rather than by friction).
This time I think it was my fault lol. I was washing and it came off as I was sliding my fingers. I just don't want it to get inflamed or anything and idk what to dooo
