Popped a pimple, now the skin won't heal?

I know I shouldn't have, but I scratched off a pimple because it was bothering me. Its been a few weeks, and now that spot where that pimple was is a light pinkish bump. It looks and feels like a pimple, but its hard and it cant be popped.





I'm going to the dermatologist, but not for another month. Anybody what this is and how I can get rid of it?Popped a pimple, now the skin won't heal?
Use toothpaste every day and leave it on over night, if anything this will get rid of the redness and help it heal quicker. This aLso put some ice on it as soon as you can before the toothpaste this wil freeze the blood vessels around your pimple and will stop it from getting bigger. never pop pimples unless they are whiteheads! And make sure you are cleanising your face everyday because it will stop dirt getting in the pores to make it worse .good luckPopped a pimple, now the skin won't heal?
try applying tea tree oil on it. if it is a bacterial infection or pimple it should help. you could also try a sulfur face mask or a benzoyl peroxide gel on it. tea tree would be best as it isn't as drying as the others and if it is a scar it wont harm it.
The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
it is a collection of dead skin cells, which is hard to come of, if you want you can put lemon juice on your bump, this will eliminate the dead skin cells, don't go too crazy because it can irritate your skin.





Personally I think you should just wait until your appointment
hmm i have the same thing


but i popped it (again) and it healed
make sure you wash your face really good. then try Neutrogena advanced solutions. it has 4 steps and it really clears your face from problem areas such as yours. i use it every morning and night. i clears up all of my pimples.





if that dont work good luck at the dermatologist!!!
Well, all I can tell you for now is to leave it alone. Don't squeeze it anymore. What will probably happen is after a while, a white head will come to the surface, and then you can pop it if you'd want to. But if you don't see a whitehead, just leave it alone.
that happened to me once. i took a dull scalpel to it. once i let out some blood, the size reduced amazingly. however, i wouldnt reccomend it since it also left a nasty scar.





so id probably just leave it be. if time wont fix it, your dermatologist will!
