Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
If the acne over increases in size, it may rather suggest an infection.Some skin infections may start as a small acne and increase in size or an acne may get infected.I will suggest you try the following:
-Avoid touching it
-Press any pus out if any
-Take a pain/anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen
If the pain pain and swelling persist, you see the Doctor to judge the need for a penicillin group of antibiotics like cloxacillin since most skin bacteria infection and abscesses respond to this molecule.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
