ELI5 why should/shouldn't you pop your pimples?

Really! I wanna know!

Popping them splits the skin open and makes it possible for bacteria to get in, which can cause an infection. At the very least it causes irritation. If you must pop a pimple (because who can stand the look of a nasty white head on their face?) I'd probably put some neosporin on it after.
