Today we learned that the advice your mother gave you is actually spot on! If you squeeze the pimples on your nose, you can develop an infection there. There are veins coursing by the nose that drain into the brain. If an infection from a popped pimple spreads and gets into one of these veins, then the infection can spread into your brain and you can develop meningitis or some other nastiness.
Don't pop those pimples!
