I have a pretty nasty pimple thanks to the stress of school starting. I'm thinking of stabbing it with a safety pin. Is that fine/better to do? The pimple is nearly a whitehead and I've been putting tea tree oil on it to hurry the process.

It's up to you if you pop it. I pop mine and I know people say its gross and stuff and its bad. But I have no problems. I cut up a lemon and put the juice on my face and let it dry. Then wash my face. They disappear for me really fast like that.

It's not bad to pop them, but you need to do it properly or you could end up pushing the bacteria deeper into the skin, google how to properly pop it and follow the instructions

You can pop it. I do when get a really bad pimple, but make sure you do it properly! Otherwise it'll come back bigger! And it could possibly get infected. And right after you do it make sure you wash your face, to help with healing and getting rid of the pimple :)

If you have a Tylenol or Advil gel pill, cut a hole at the top and then apply to the pimple! It works miracles :) I broke out badly this morning and did that for about 20 minutes and how it looks like this
