Medical News Today: Is my pimple infected?

A pimple is more likely to become infected if it is popped. It could be caused by cystic acne or mistaken for a boil. An infected pimple is most annoying on sensitive areas such as the face or nose. Some can be treated at home, but more severe infections could be caused by staph bacteria and require medical treatment.
