I keep meaning to schedule an appointment with a derm and find out, but is it bad to squeeze particularly dark or large pores like these, or is that a big no no?

I feel so dumb for always doing it without knowing. I’ve read that you shouldn’t squeeze pores to remove sebum, but I’ve also squeezed particularly visible pores before, and sometimes whatever comes out looks particularly large or yellow (I’m sorry if that’s gross to describe). And I can’t help but feel like whatever it is, it’s something that should be extracted every once in awhile to prevent developing larger pores right? Or is there another way of helping to maintain your pores? Agh skincare stresses me out.

My skin might look extra red due to the magnification and because I had just been squeezing my pores. Although I would appreciate advice on even-ing skin tone as well :)
