Help me!!!!

I got a huge cystic pimple and, stupidly, I decided to pop it.
Following is the nasty pus and then blood that never seems to stop
Now the whole area is red and the bump got a whole lot bigger


WHAT TO DOOO?!?!?

[msLyn]

Oy, bad bad.

You may even get a scar, depending on how 'bad' it was. My advice?

Keep it clean, avoid touching it, maybe ice it a bit.

You can also try putting some toothpaste in it, since toothpaste will help dry it out.


Only time will tell.

next time you get a cystic pimple, freeze it.
and like the above poster said, try freezing it now.

[muchacha]

put some alchohal on it to kill the germs.

[Fuznut88]

yeah, best thing you can do is not touch it as much. if you have alcohol swab , apply it lightly so most germs will be killed.

Never ever pop pimples, especially cystic ones.

[milkbunny]

i had a really big cystic pimple once and after i popped it, it just like went away a day later and stopped hurting haha

[maly&ahpulee]

I can't help but pop my pimples, too.
I usually just wash my face and then cover it.

[sushiwhore]

you wait for big hurty pimples to falten out then heal beore you squeeze the oil clog thing o_o well for me that what i do i ay just put aloe on it and dotn touch it

[strangeness]

we all give in to temptaion and pop a pimple from time to time XD

well just TRY not to touch it!! >_<
and maybe use some toothpaste? thats wat i do
at least if u touch it u will touch the toothpaste lol!!
it should heal nicely
if theres a scar..it wont be massive.. itll probably be tiny and noone will ever notice it. ^^

"Cysts: An acne cyst can appear similar to a nodule, but is pus-filled, and has been described as having a diameter of 5mm or more across. They can be painful. Again, scarring is common with cystic acne. Squeezing an acne cyst may cause a deeper infection and more painful inflammation which will last much longer than if you had left it alone. Dermatologists often have ways of lessening swelling and preventing scarring."

Doesn't really help much, huh? It just grows under the skin and is generally really hard to the touch and it hurts a lot too. Regular pimples usually don't hurt. Cysts also take forever to go away and mine always look really really oily.

[xbaaByette]

OMG that's gross .
You should NEVER pop pimples . They leave scars behind .
You should maybe clean it out with toothpaste or put like acne cleanser on it .
And yeah , don't touch it a lot .

I m not sure but wash your face?
Most importantly is do not touch that thing anymore.

[Reagan1986]

I use lemon juice + cucumber Juice and apply it on for 5-10 minutes for popped pimples =)
