Put tea tree oil or benzoyl peoxide or 3% peroxide on the spot. This will help clear it and will help stop any secondary staph infection. Make sure your hands are very clean (twice washed) before touching any broken skin. NEVER touch your nose and then touch broken skin without washing your hands.

If the spot stays red or gets warm, put some antibiotic cream on it (with a q tip/cotton bud, if you can get it, otherwise put some antibacterial cream or Savlon such as betadine, on it.
