Maybe a cyst: A pimple which most likely a cyst when you said that you squeeze "a lot" of white stuff from it. Pimple usually doesn't have too much white stuff. treating a cyst needs an excision, a surgical procedure. systemic or topical medicines would not work. go to see a Derm.

Clean it: Since you have already squeezed it you will be at risk for infection. In the future, avoid picking pimples, it causes red and dark stains as well as scars. It usually means you are not washing your face twice daily and leaving make up on too long. At this point, apply ice and clean with hydrogen peroxide and then leave it alone. Pickers usually need help with their compulsive habits.
