I have heard a thousand times that popping pimples is a terrible idea, but I do it all the time anyway because in the short term I think it makes the pimple easier to cover up. BUT sometimes when I try to pop one it seems like it doesn't pop completely (it never bleeRAB) and instead this clear liquid comes out for a really long time. What is that and how do you make it stop? It is disgusting and impossible to put on any kind of makeup. HELP PLEASE!
 
I do the same thing so I know what you mean. I would think the reason why the clear liquid comes out is because you haven't waited for a whitehead to appear on the pimple first. Never pop it if it doesn't have a whitehead. It will scar and not really help the zit clear up any faster. Sometimes if you do pop a whitehead a little bit of clear liquid may come out. If it does I tear a little piece of tissue and put it on it like a guy does when he cuts himself shaving and leave it on there while I am putting mascara or whatever on then I take it off and put a little clear salicyclic acid treatment on it then let it dry and try putting foundations over the pimple. I hope this helps!
 
If it doesn't have a whitehead, DON'T TOUCH IT. Theres nothing you can do for it as far as popping goes.
 
That stuff is pus. There's nothing you can do about it. My best advice is to wad up a tiny piece of tissue and stick it on, like men do whey they cut theirselves shaving. Nothing will make it stop leaking faster though. If you pop them, stuff is going to come out of them.
 
I've heard that before. Is an aspirin mask literally just crushed aspirin mixed into paste with water? I'm skeptical but I have heard that that is helpful...
