Finally after about 10 days I was able to pop it the amount of stuff that came out was simply scary and everyday for the last 4 days Ive had to repop it and its full of infection daily no exageration at least a tablespoon each time and its a green liquid. Is there a way to take care of this myself or should I see a doctor?

Anytime green liquid comes out of any part of your face except your nose, YES, you need to see a doctor.
In the meantime, clean it with peroxide, put some neosporin on it, and keep it clean.
In the future, you need to keep some Neutrogena On The Spot Acne Cream around for just such problems. If you put a little on when you first get a zit, they won't have a chance to get so big.
And just so you know, every time you pop it, you're making it worse, because you letting in all the dirt and bacteria that is on your finger, skin and hands. If you must pop a zit, wash your face and hands first, and then put neosporin on it immediately after.
Good luck.

Green liquid!? See a doctor. Taking zinc supplements might help for an ordinary carbuncle (big, deep zit) but this does sound alarming.

That sounds like a little more than a zit. You should see a doctor before you end up with a scar.

drink lots of water, it flushes out the system naturally, what works for very oily skin is proper care. (i used to use things like dettol soap and let it dry on my skin for an hour or so and then resoap it and rinse (this worked wonders!) or handwash if i was out of my regular things, now my skin is so self regulatory i only use soap! i was the only one in my entire family of 6 who never had acne!)
natural porridge oats, if you mix some in a bowl with water, use an old toothbrush and scrub your face 2x per week with it, you'll feel the difference in no time. natural egg white, if you beat it for a minute or 2 and apply it to face as mask (maybe with half a teaspoon lemon juice) it helps to tighten pores so that less grease is on the skin to mix with any bacteria...and in so doing, less pimples. try this, if it doesnt work, i'll eat my shorts... *wink* ps. be careful with lemon juice, use it in drops, because it may dry out pimples but it can and will irritate the skin and cause itchy, blotchy redness and patches!! so, use it in liquid form diluted with, as i suggested, egg white. also, apricots, if mashed, they not only tighten pores but take away scars and blemishes. i wouldnt try toothpaste if i was you, but hey...others have from what i see in other replies. best you can do is ongoing care, oats, its extremely useful and not only that its low cost and lasts for absolutely months. best wishes...

green liquid? sounds like gangrene. i have had horrible zits that pop several times after being on my face for a couple weeks...no green pus though, yellow at the worst. if your serious, go see a dr.

For the future Proactiv is the answer. But you sound like this is very serious. You should see a doctor.

The fact that it's green now tells me that you should really have it looked at...it does sound infected, and you don't want to get sick.

if you have green crap coming out your face for 4 days and you don't have enough since to see a dermatologist your face need to fall off
