I need anyone's help please! Thursday night I tried popping a cyst that was causing a lot of pain. It's now saturday and my face is red where I tried popping it. I have been using tea tree oil but now I can see that a scab is starting to form. I need help and don't know what to do. Do I dry it out or do I mosturize it? Tea tree oil, aloe, masks, neosporin?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have work on Monday!
Hello Benji,
If you are trying to pop out your pimple, kindly visit this link from Dan's blog on how to use ice as a spot treatment for acne. Moisturizing your pimple will only make it longer for the cyst to be ready to be popped out so you have to dry it out.

I wouldn't stress too much, the redness will go away. The best thing for redness is going to be the aloe. Most of the pitted scarring I have is from messing with cystic acne so I wouldn't try to pop it or pick at it. What I have found helps the best is Aztec Indian Healing Clay. For me, tea tree or acne spot treatments don't even faze cystic acne.
