when you squeezed the bump you probably damaged the skin around it, this skin dies. the hole, is a pore, it was infected, with oils from the skin or dirt, you can also gets spots from bad nutrition, hormone changes, and stress. dont worry, try not to touch the mark becaue our hands are covered in bacteria, from touching everything.
the best thing to do is wash your face with a very delicate cleanser, and rub pure vitamin e oil, into your skin.
your skin thrives on vitamin E and it may look greasy, best to do before bed, through the night, while the skin in rejuvinating.
dont worry, it may leave a red mark, but wont stya for to long, it will be a scab, then a semi perminant scar.

okay a scar is a cut that has totally healed . A scab is a cut that is in the process of healing You pooped a pimple and now you have a minor hole on your face. The best thing is to go to a dermatologist. If you don't want to do that than use moisturizer for the dead skin but the hole will probably stay. My father did that a lot and he does have a few holes but they build Character with him. Honestly go see a skin doctor. Good luck! Bye.

If you can pick at it, and dead skin comes off, then it's a scab. When you've already picked at it, and now it's a light color (almost white) and there's nothing left to pick at, then it's a scar. It may go away, or it may be there for life, depending on how nasty the scab was. Chances are, if there's a hole in your face, it's scarred.

A scab is the rough area over the injury, usually dried blood. A scar is what's left after it's healed.
I'm sure it will heal in time. Don't pick at it. Just keep it clean, and let it heal itself. If you're really worried, maybe see your GP or dermatologist.

a scab is the protective layer a body places over a wound whilst healing, a scar on the other hand is what you are left with once the wound has healed .
hope this helps.
Happy new year!!

its a scab...
scab- dead skin or blood cells where a cut and bruise was
scar- is the last visible evidence there was an injury at a certain location after it has fully healed

a scar is the healed tissue on a wound. a scab is the hard crusty skin on a wound that has not healed. yours sounds like a scab.

You have a scab while it heals...then after it has healed the mark that is left is a scar.

If you bled blood then its should be a scab.
Scar's don't heal but it should't be a scar.
