Do you pop your pimples?

Tweet

Well once in a month, i'd often suffer from just a lone big pimple. Hence "marring" my otherwise flawless complexion. During such times, i'd wait till my pimple becomes ripe (meaning i can see it being big and yellow) before i'd squeeze it. I'd drain the yellow fluid till blood comes out & i'd try as much to squeeze out the root of the pimple. (this root is pretty much the hard part of the pimple and it's yellow..) Anyhows, after that, i'd either apply a pimple control cream over the sore area or i'd just apply toothpaste. At times when the cursed pimple doesn't become ripe as fast as i would like it to be, i'd just apple toothpaste & let it set. Most of the times, by the next day, the pimple would have dried up and i can easily peel it out. What about you? What are your steps for eliminating these pimples? and i'm talking about those long BIG ones not those small ones.
