Cystic Acne: Get it treated. Any time you "pop" a cyst it can cause a deep scar. http://www.talroudnerplasticsurgery.com/skin/acne-treatments-miami-fl/.

Check it now: It could have dissected or it could be infected.

NO: There is an area on the face called the "danger area" because infections such as this can more easily spread centrally to your brain. Try hot compresses and let it drain naturally. You may also need it "surgically" drained or require antibiotics.
