I know stress does not cause acne, but I do believe it aggravates it or causes new eruptions. Stress affects our bodies internally, so it is natural to think that our skin, which is a major organ, would be affected.

So it is best to let your pimple mature, dry and heal by itself.

Thank you for pointing out what most people fail to see, that the popping causes it to spread as it is filled with bacteria. So letting the pimple take its course is always best and not just because of scaring.

I used to squeeze the pimples too, but they can leave big scars, so I stopped, anyway, I think stress can cause someone to have acne, doesn't it?

Yes you're right. Squeezing can only cause infection and may results into scars. Acne will be cured after taking so much care of it. It may not totally disappear but at least it will lessen.
