After Popping Blackhead Have Something Like Blisters With Raised Edges On Lips. How To Get Rid Of It?
I popped a blackhead and now I have something that sort of resembles a blister. It has raised edges and is in a circular formation on my top lip. It's not a cold sore because I have gotten those before. I've had it for about a week and I just really want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
I read and understood your concern. It seems like you have got secondary infection due to popping of blackhead.
Apply topical steroid plus antibiotic combination like fusee B on the lesion and take oral antiinflammatory like ibuprofen.
It is always advisable not to prick/ squeeze lesions under medical supervision since it can lead to further aggravation of infection.
