I was thinking of poping this pimple that grows right at the middle of my chest, well its already ripe and has blackhead and I realy want to get rid of it but I am afraid that it might be irriteted or seriously infectious to do. I can't afford to see a dermatologist. should I pop it or just let it disappear?

Hi...would suggest that you leave the pimple alone. It will subside by itself and yes it might be irritated and cause infection because our nail aren't that clean. I used to pop pimple on my face during my schooldays. but now occasionally one or two will appear, I just leave it alone to subside and its good that way because it leaves no scar.

I did also but scars are truely the consequenses, so we just have to let it stay for a while and it will just disappear.

Its better that you leave it alone.The next day when you are having bath it will go.Don't try to pop it otherwise it might leave a scar behind which will take lots of time to go.

Yes you're right poping a pimple can cause scars, and I already have some of it. Now the pimple was gone and I'm glad, thanks.

i think it's better if you don't pop it. it's not that visible because it's in your chest so i don't think you should be conscious about it.=D

yes! its not visible, but it does hurt and I felt very uncomfortable wearing my shirts if it touches that pimple. Anyway thanks for your concern.
