ELI5: Why do some dermatologists advise you never to pop pimples whilst others encourage you to in order to allow the infected pus to escape. Which one is true?

I've been to several dermatologists about my current acne and how prone I am to developing sebaceous cysts on my face. However, I've noticed conflicting opinions with each dermatologist in regards to popping pimples. Half say pop them (safely of course, with clean hands and by stretching the skin around the pimple rather than pushing inwards) while the other half are strictly against them. Which opinion should I believe?

Because people pop them with the fingers. It makes lesions and worsen it.

The correct way to pop pimples is to make make a hole or cut the superficial skin with a scalpel or needle and gently press the pus out.
