Brief Answer:
Is it still draining?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

If this were a pimple, it would bleed minimally and must have stopped. Pain would not be too severe as well. If this is not the case and the bump is still bleeding or draining, I will suggest that you get it checked out. Another easier way would be to get a good image and sent to us for review. I hope you do this so that through inspection we may be able to provide more insights and helpful recommendations. In any case, cleansing with iodine, keep the area dry and airy would be helpful.

I wish you well. I hope to hear from you and feel free to ask for more clarifications.
