Why is my pimple filled with blood?

A pimple may fill with blood when it has had trauma (injury). This can happen when you do the following to a regular pimple:

• Pick.
• Pop.
• Squeeze.
• Use harsh cleansers or exfoliators.
• Wash it too frequently.

Many people squeeze or pop pimples to remove pus and try to make the pimple go away faster. But when you squeeze or pop a pimple, you can damage or burst blood vessels in the area. That can make the pimple fill with blood.
