It looks tempting to pop the pimple but doing so can push the bacteria and pus back inside deep into the skin which can result in serious swelling and can cause redness as well. Popping your pimple can also lead to permanent or temporary scar pits which would be clearly visible.
Give your pimple some time and let it disappear on its own. Remember patience is the ultimate key to glowing and clear skin. Well, if it's too late and you have already made a mess of your skin, follow these simple steps to treat the popped acne bump which can later on cause you pain.

Step 2: Gently clean the area with a cleanser and if there is blood opt for an antiseptic cleanser to avoid reinfection and the occurrence of a worse scar. Step 3: Avoid using retinol and vitamin C exfoliant or serum which can cause instant irritation and deepening of the scar.
Step 4: Use a fragrance-free and lightweight moisturiser that would soothe the area. You can also apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen and keep the area well moisturised and nourished. Step 5: However, if you can see no positive change then opt for an in-clinic chemical peel procedure which would resolve the damage and would prevent it from scarr.
