Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. It does seem like you have an acne problem and please consult a dermatologist for the same. It will really help to improve your overall confidence and self-esteem when you get your acne cured. It is something that most people go through in their young adulthood. I also would think that a visit with a psychiatrist would be in place. I hope this helps with the anxiety part of things.
Take care and have a lovely day!

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
If the pimple is small and not infected, then you don't have to worry much; you can just take a mild analgestic like paracetamol for the pain and throbbing. If the swelling is filled with pus or if you have developed fever, then it is better to se a doctor for further treatment.
From the description of your anxiety symptoms, you are likely to be suffering from an anxiety disorder, probably a generalised anxiety disorder. There are effective treatment options for this - in the form of medication and psychotherapy, which will help you overcome your excessive anxiety. So, it would be worthwhile to also consult a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment of your anxiety problem.
Wish you all the best.
