Sounds like: bacterial contamination (infection) of a herpes virus (cold sore) infection. Suggest you use hot MOIST packs and soak..(stop "popping" it let it drain naturally by soaking it) You could try local antibacterial ointment bwteen soaks , however you may need oral antibiotics. Consult your PCP or seek Health Tap Prime consultation with aphysician in YOUR locality (OH) Hope this helps! Dr Z
