This sounds like cystic acne. When you try to pop it, you only end up shoving all the gunk in it down further into the skin, making the infection worse and increasing the risk of scaring. You can dissolve a couple of asprin in a TBSP of warm water, add a dollop of honey and apply to the skin, leave on all evening, rinse before bed, repeat every evening for a few days. The honey has antibacterial properties and the asprin helps reduce swelling and redness, also has exfoliating properties that help the infection make it to the surface so the skin can get rid of it. DO NOT pick at it or squeeze anymore! You may end up going to the Doctor if you have caused a serious infection, but that is pretty rare. Staph infections are very serious, but you usually suspect that if something will not heal after a reasonable amount of time and gets yucky, this just sounds like a deep cystic acne lesion, and it will take time to heal. You will need to cleanse gently, and if you respond well to benzoyl peroxide or Salicylic acid, buy a product containing it and apply as directed.
Reply:Sounds to me like it may be a spider bite or staph infection or both. place hot wash cloths on it over and over again to draw the puss out and go tot the dr to get some antibiotics. It should clear up in a few days but if it is Staph you cannot attend class as it is very contagious.
