What happens to pus in a pimple if you don't pop it?!


Question: What happens to pus in a pimple if you don't pop it!?
If you have a cystic type pimple (filled with blood and pus) and you don't pop it, it starts to get smaller and dissapears!. Where does the blood and pus go!? I think it sounds gross and that it would be better to pop it so it gets out of your system but everyone says to not pop it!. Does it dissipate into your body or bloodstream!? Ew!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Well since the blood and pus are your bodies way of fighting off an infection (the pus is your white blood cells fighting the bacterial infection) it is best not to pop them!. And yes this stuff does dissipate into your baby but so does any other infection that you may have the berms are hopefully attacked by the WBC and killed then flushed out of your body, like any other waste product!.This way your body can continue to fight the infection and also by not popping it you don't get a scar!. Take it from someone who has suffered with acne for the last 10 years don't pop or else you really will have these nasty red marks all over your face and you might as well change your nickname to crater-face because by popping those cystic pimples IT WILL LEAVE A SCAR!. If the pimple is really painful and inflamed you can actually go to your derm and they may drain it with a needle (gross sounding but DON'T try to do it yourself at home) or they can give you prescription antibiotics that will lessen the healing time!.
Think about it if you have a cut on your arm and you are constantly picking at the scab
A) its going to take forever to heal
B) you are probably going to get a infection and
C) a scar is likely to follow!.
So why would you treat a pimple any differently,
(also pimples are easier to cover when they are not broken open!.)
