hi i had a pimple on my arm yesterday so i popped it. this morning when i had woken up my arm had some discomfort. Now I noticed its swollen with a constant mils pain. Feels like I ve had a tetanus shot. Arm feel heavy. No warmth at sight. No fever or chills.
It seems that probably you may be having folliculitis. And now there is secondary bacterial infection,which causes pain. You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis and treatment.
After thorough examination, he might prescribe antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. And antibiotic cream may be applied on the lesion.
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
