I had a whitehead form and i popped it in the shower. i placed a band aid on it, and the next day it formed into a pimple does this sound right?

yes: The white material that popped was sebaceum and that sebaceum was not completely emptied out from the sciatic and it cause and inflammation to perform as the body is trying to expel it. If sebaceum pops out and needs to be cleaned out completely for to go away quickly.
