Hi guys,

Just an old follower of acne.org. I've never signed up on here earlier because I've always found fantastic advice from people. But I have an issue which I would like to ask everyone.

So I had a massive pustule on the side of my nose for about 2 weeks now. It developed a head very quickly and it was very big, filled with a lot of pus inside it. I didn't initially pop it before but instead placed sudocrem on top of it, and it popped itself. That was a week ago. The spot began to heal and flatten out, after day by day, I had to constantly keep draining the pus that kept gushing out when I washed my face. It stopped leaking yellowy liquid pus for a few days but now today the the spot became raised again and when i washed my face, the pus popped again, and I gently squeezed the contents out, not seeing any bleeding at all.

I placed a big blob of BP to dry it out and when I washed my face at night, lots and lots of pus was collected again at the surface of this pustule. I tried gently tugging my skin and pushing it VERY GENTLY, to see if it could pop itself, but instead my pus disappeared and it went back down into my skin? I couldn't see the whole load of pus anymore and my spot flattened itself again. It didn't pop at all. Did I just push all that gunk back down into my skin? The side of my face where that spot was started to hurt, as if I felt like all that stuff was spreading in my skin and I got very scared, so I steamed my face and did a Bentonite clay mask to try and drain it out. I'm going to try BPing it again tonight and hopefully it'll pop up again.

Am i going to get any scarring or am I going to get huge infection? I'm really scared...

Thanks for the help!
