Got a blackhead extracted and now looks infected or something and hurts a little bit?

Inflamed ?: Oftentimes the procedure can stir-up the cyst causing inflammation. However if the affected skin and surrounding skin gets swollen and increasingly red and warm , infection could have set in --if so , you need to see your physician.
