I had a pimple on my face and I fought the urge to not Pop it so I left it there doing my daily routine of washing my face about a while and it still never went a way but one day it popped on its own and I drained it the best I could but while it was draining like flesh popped up. I told my mom and I put tea tree oil on it the next day it s like a red bump of flesh I don t know what to do -Brandon 14 year old

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Its good that you did not burst open the pimple.
Is the newly developed bump red or yellow and is it painful?
If yes then you need to apply topical anti-microbial in the form of clindamycin and peroxide combination.
Just a drop of ointment should be applied on the bump.
Little amount of dryness can occur after applying the ointment, however, a moisturizer can be used to get red of the dryness.
Thanks and take care
