Does popping and squeezing pimples on my back and groin have any negative effects on my body?

Teenage male, I sweat, I get annoying pimples. I had two large ones on my back, both of which I removed the whitehead from and squeezed the pus out of, then washed the area. I did the same for one above my penis. The swelling went down significantly, and the mild pain and irritation became much less severe. Still, could this be having any negative effects on my body? Could I be risking infection or irritation at all?

    Not really. It is best to avoid them or find a way to get rid of them without any side effects. Skincare for Acne and Acne scars. There’s a simple way to deal with cystic and all other forms of acne. Suitable for all skin types.

    Niacinamide (aka Niapads ®) anti-acne pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.

    These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars) and increase skin hydration.

    Use it and see the difference.
