You don't want to pop those tiny pimples, they may cause more infection later. Before you proceed, make sure to wash your hands properly, have an antiseptic solution (solution containing benzoyl peroxide), gauze and long tipped needle ready. Now flame the needle to sterillize it then prick the pimple slowly to remove all the fluid and use the gauze to absorb the fluid from the pimple. Stop when you see blood coming out of the pimple. Use the benzoyl peroxide solution to clean the area afterwards. If for some reason the pimples have become seriously infected, consult a dermatologist who will prescribe some antibiotic creams to heal the pimples and reduce the formation of scars.
