Question) Squeezing acne vs. leaving it alone—which leaves less scarring?

I'm stressed out because I keep getting acne on my chin and cheeks lately.

I've been holding back because I heard it's bad to squeeze them with my hands, but then again, dermatologists extract them for you. So I'm confused about what's right.

I'm wondering if it's better to just leave them alone at home, or if going to a dermatologist to have them extracted actually leaves fewer scars. In particular, what is the correct way to handle inflamed acne or acne that is hard inside?

I'm really conflicted because some people say they got bruises or it spread further after extraction, while others say it subsided quickly.

For those who have actually tried this, please share honest reviews regarding scarring, recovery speed, and the possibility of recurrence.
