You must be careful doing that. You can get a nasty staph infection and have to see a doctor. The doctor may then have to lance it, drain it, pack it with gauze and you'll be placed on antibiotics, resulting in a nasty scar. If you must, wash your hands and face first with antibacterial soap such as Dial (check the package label) to stop the spread of infection and follow up with an over the counter antibiotic like Neosporin or even plain rubbing alcohol. However that maybe too strong for sensitive skin. Your best bet it to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Good Luck!

Put Neosporin on it at night, but no band aid. Don't use cover up or anything to hide it. It will make it worse. Don't do anything with it during the day, no Neosporin no nothing. (I have a horrible habit of popping my pimples and this method seems to work well for me. They heal in about three days.)
