I peeled skin off a popped pimple, and now it burns really bad! What should I do?

Yesterday I popped a huge pimple that was just a red bump (not a whitehead). Today there is a large "tanned" area where the pimple was, darker than my skin tone. It had a smooth, hard texture, and I peeled it off with tweezers. Now it burns like crazy! I know I made a lot of mistakes with this but what should I do now??

    Put adobe antibiotic ointment line neosporin and, at night, a band-aid. (If you're at home alone, put the ointment and the bandaid on now.)

    Easy way to deal with cystic and all other forms of acne. Skincare for Acne and Acne scars – suitable for all skin types. Niapads® - Simple for Pimple™

    Niacinamide (aka Niapads ®) anti-acne pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.

    These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars) and increase skin hydration.

    Use it and see the difference.

    Use rubbing alcohol. If you don't have it, use perfume or cologne.
