i had a pimple right above my lip, it was a white head and i popped it and was very careful not to break the skin. after i popped it, i put ice on it for 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off. overnight i put neosporin on it. when i woke up there was a little bit more pus in it and i got it out and was very careful. i've been putting cloderm cream on it all day and i just want to know how long it's going to take for it to go away. it has gotten much flatter but it is extremely red and it looks like i have a cold sore or herpes or something. it's extremely embarassing does anyone have any ideas on how long this will take to go away or anything else i can do to speed up the process?
