Eli5: Black heads and pimples

What is the difference between me politely and lovingly popping my pimples at home with clean hands and my dermatologist going ham on my face with their metal sticks or those suctioning machines, what's the reason the doctor's way is more advisable? (Other than them being a professional and me being a mortal)

Think of it like showering in the rain vs showering at home. Sure you get wet and you can remove the dirt and all, but you never know what germs you can get from bathing outside and the rain could be dirty. Also, you can't control the rain. You also have more toiletries at home in case something goes wrong.

The doctor's clinic is supposed to be a clean and safe environment where they use sterile materials so there is less risk of getting infections and if something goes wrong, they have the necessary materials for it.

Also, there are some areas where popping pimples in an unsterile environment can be dangerous (around the nose area). Infections here can spread to the brain through the veins.
