hey everyone. so basically i had a cyst on my face that popped while i washed my face. i noticed the next day it was refilling with a white head so i popped it again myself. ever since than the area won't close and heal up. and wen it does if i smile or smirk it cracks open and puss comes out please tell me wat to do!?!
If you can hide out for a day to let it heal, do so.
Put some antibacterial ointment like neosporin on it (or I personally like a colloidal silver wound ointment) and place a small circle bandaid over it to prevent bumping it and to help keep bacteria out.
If you must go out, then a liquid banadage has worked for me. After it dries, I gently apply a little concealer. Be very careful when / if you wash off the liquid bandage later so you don't reopen the wound.
Acne spot patches are also very useful to have on hand. Unfortunately they often have to be ordered online. I like ones by a Korean brand CosRX called acne pimple master patch which be found online, but Nexcare also makes some sold online at Walgreens (not sure where you're located).
Hope that helps! Unfortunately I've been in this situation too many times myself, so I understand what it's like.
