Doctor can evaluate: A primary care doctor can examine the skin and listen to the whole story to see if the "pimple" is treatable by the usual antibiotic medications, versus some other type of treatment. The infection or the inflammation at the site of the pimple may connect to a deeper abscess. If that is the case, the doctor may need to open up the surface and remove the pus. Thus, a doctor's exam is important.
