My boyfriend popped it 2 days ago (it looked like a blackhead) because he always insists on popping my pimples even though I tell him not too. So anyway now its like this big huge red bump and it still hurts a lot. its really sore and my lip has been swollen. Why does it hurt so much? It hurts to touch or when I move my lip. HOW DO I MAKE IT HEAL? I'm like so upset because I don't want a scar. I'm embarrassed of going out in public because its so red. Oh yeah it had a scab and he picked it! Now its like open. PLEASE HELP!

I have had problems all my life with pimples and acne. I still get them once in a while. Please do not pop your pimples, they are bound to leave a scar when you do that, popping pimples will help you get away with pimples is a myth. The best way to control them is to keep your face oil free, that doesnot mean if you eat a lot of oily food you get lot of oil on your face. wash your face atleast 2-3 times a day with a soap free, oil control face wash/cleanser. A moisturiser is very necessary even if you have an oily face. use a good oil control mosturiser. if you want to get rid of acne soon, keep a handly spot control treatment available and keep using it frequently like once in every 2-2:30 hrs on the spot, that will help you reduce it.
The first thing you need to understand is that, pimple/acne is very much a kind of skin irritation, popping it might aggrevate it and in your case that is what is happening. If i had to give a comparision, its just like you have a cut on your skin, if you scratch it or got hurt on it again is it not getting aggrivated? Pimples and acne react very similary.
Personally, I used some tea tree dab on solutions, that worked great for me. I have recently been using burtsbees's herbal blemish stick. It works great on me.

Tell him to stop picking your face!! I had this same problem with a pimple on my lip, although I popped it myself. And it has a really bad scar now. I have had to spend a lot of time and money on a product that fades acne scars and it is finally fading. But I have to make sure that I have sunscreen on everyday because any exposure to the sun brings the scar right back out again. It is a very hard place to get rid of a scar. Just tell your bf that he HAS to leave your pimples alone. His compulsion is going to cause suffering for you. Good luck and have a blessed day!

When I have the start of a sore spot on my lips I use a vitamin called L-Lysine. If I take it at the start, the pimple or sore does not usually develope. I take 2 on the onset and a couple more during the day when I remember. It cuts the time of the sore a lot.

It sounds swollen. Ice it.
Whiole you're icing it, send your boyfriend out to get you some good coverup. Sephora makes a great green cooling stick. Green will neutralize the redness better than a flesh tone.
If it is still scabby, put moisturizer on it before coverup. Even better, use a Neosporin cream.

your pimple has not gone away because he picked on it and did not get all the stuff out. That has happend to me alot. I recomend that you wash your hand and try squeezing it out just one time if something comes out make sure that you nget it all out. if you think that your boyfriend got it all out when he picked on it just leave it alone. after you aqeeze it wash your face and leave it alone. if there's nothing in there it should heal within the next couple of days if it kind of heals but you see it still lingering and it still feels like a pimple that means that theres still stuff in there. Good Luck

could be a cold sore. apply Abreva every 2 hours. it best works if you start using it within 24 hours. if not, it's just a pimple. apply saliva to it every morning just when you wake up for a couple of days, it'll reduce the inflammation.swelling and will leave minimal scars. never pick it, it will take longer to heal and will leave scars.

Before bed tonight put strong toothpaste on it. This will dry it out and during the day you need polysporin on it! good luck!

You question should not be about the blemish...which will heal..
The bigger question should be should I dump my "twisted" boyfriend who gets pleasure out popping my zits, because he gets pleasure out of squeezing puss and blood out of me.......
and the answer is a big YES!!!
