I had a big pimple on the corner of my forehead. I popped it and put a band aid. later, it turned darker colored, like purple-ish, and had a weird shiny, soft, purple growth over it. Looked like a scar, could've been a scab? I got worried and picked at it and it actually peeled off revealing pink skin underneath. After letting it be for a few days it has stayed the same, now it looks like a slightly raised bump with a hole inside (i think that's a pore but i'm not sure), and it is still discolored slightly. It doesn't hurt at all unless pressed on really hard, looks like the hole is a big pore, and the skin is kind of shiny. what is it????

No it's inflammation from a internal cyst popped cyst. There is still bacteria in there the skin has to clear. You picked so its inflamed and angry. All you can do now is use some triple antibiotic cream on it and use vinegar soaks (dilute white vinegar to pat on it and sanitize) nightly. Yes was probably a scab or dried lymph / blood / proteins liquid from our bodies. Bruises can be common. If you have any further concern of infection or it will not heal please see a dermatologist.
