Can you still inject pimples that have yellow pus to make them subside?

That's a very descriptive question 🙂 When you see yellowish pus forming, you want it to subside quickly. Regarding the question... "Can you inject pimples that have yellowish pus to make them disappear?" Let me explain it this way, doctor.

Generally speaking Doctors will not recommend injecting pimples when they are fully developed and full of pus. The main reason is that injecting medication into infected pimples with a lot of pus may increase the risk of the infection spreading to surrounding areas. Furthermore, the medication may not work effectively, and most importantly... There is a high risk of developing permanent acne pits or scars in that area. After the acne has subsided, because during the pus-filled phase of acne, the walls of the sebaceous glands are very thin. Injecting the substance might cause the wall to rupture and damage the skin tissue more easily than usual.

Therefore, the best treatment approach for this type of acne is: The correct way to open a pimple and drain the pus by a professional. You can have the pus extracted at the clinic. After all the pus has been drained, if the pimple is still inflamed, swollen, and red underneath, the doctor may consider injecting a small amount of pus to help reduce the remaining inflammation. This will help the pimple subside faster and reduce the chance of scarring. In short... It's safest and will give the best results if your doctor drains the pus first, then consider injecting an anti-inflammatory medication. Do not attempt to squeeze or press the affected area yourself, as this will only cause more bruising and greatly increase the risk of scarring.
