What happens if you don't pop a pimple?

Like does the gunk just stay in there forever?

    No, it heals. It goes away on its own.

    However, if it is infected, it will fester and get larger.

    So, apply an antibacterial like tea tree essential oil (just a dab) and don't pop or touch it.

    If you keep trying to pop a pimple it will get really red and irritated so I suggest to leave it alone till it goes away, usually when I have pimples I leave them alone and wash my face.
