A member asked:
What is this pimple that hurts and itches. would it be a bad idea to pop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: This sounds like an infected hair follicle. Some of the reactive proteins in your skin are causing the symptoms. "popping" pimples is not a good idea since it can spread an infection. See your physician.
