I would be wondering about the possability of a fungal infection. I don't know about the time-frame but stranger things have happened. I would ask a pharmacist at wal-mart or where ever what is safe to try on your face area. Or else you could try, over the counter hydrocortisone 1-3 x's a day / some Vaseline, if you think it is simply dry irritated skin.

I don't know why popping a zit that long ago should be bothering you now. But whatever, it's not normal, it's not healthy, it's not right! You need to see a skin specialist now, not later.

Could be an essential fatty acid deficiency. Try a good quality broad spectrum EFA supplement like Swanson vitamins EFA Complete for a couple bottles. If you lack EFA's in your diet you should see impressive results soon.
