It goes away a lot quicker but you feel more self-conscious about it until it goes.

It would have been reabsorbed and the toxins taken away. You would also have not damaged your skin cells by squooging it and stopped that bit of your skin producing collagen (which btw stops you getting wrinkles).

I put a tiny spot of toothpaste on mine to dry them out within ten minutes, then wash it off and they are gone by bedtime.

The white is pus and when you squeeze it, you are spreading the infection around and also introducing potential infections from the air to your skin.

Were you the sort of child who picked scabs too?

Toxin means a body of bacteria which can do harm to you. You have loads of oil in your skin and it's perfect for bacteria to grow and multiply in (yummy). Your body can deal with it but you are making it harder for your immune system if you squeeze by spreading the infection.

Also btw, by setting off an immune response you are liable to cause an overreaction (redness, swelling) and possibly scarring as your body fights to get rid of the bad stuff which it could have dealt with on it's own had you not had a prod.
