Hi Erin! First and most important question to you now is: did they give you antibiotics? because any infection on the face should be treated properly to avoid further complications. If they didn't, go back to the doctor and insist on it. if they did and still you notice is not getting better, go to the doctor again. The fact is you should never pop pimples. there is a risk of spreading the infection when you do it, and that's what probably has happened to you. less important than the risk of spreading the infection but also true is that you have more risk to have a scar in this case. Do the right treatment now and avoiding doing the same in the future. Take care!
