A member asked:

I have a cystic pimple on my cheek. tried popping it and failed. now it's bigger, purple/black in colour and very sore. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dermatologist: The acne cyst can be injected with kenalog (triamcinolone) which should help shrink it. Usually trying to pop a pimple creates more inflammation and pain. Your dermatologist may also want to determine if there is any infection there.
