See a doct or: It sounds like you have an abscess. Use hot packs to help bring it to a head. It may need to be drained, so make appointment so he can give you antibiotics and possibly drain your infection.

Revisit urge to pop: A dermatologist may be better able to diagnose. If the red marks are signs of lymphangitis the pimple could be an abscess and it may benefit for I&D as well as packing and antibiotics.
