A whitehead is a kind of pimple, and popping or squeezing a pimple won't necessarily get rid of the problem. Squeezing can actually push bacteria and pus deeper into the skin, which can cause more swelling and redness. Squeezing can also lead to scabs and may leave you with permanent pits or scars. So resist any temptation to pop or squeeze whiteheads, pimples, and blackheads.
