I got this dark purple/red-ish pimple on my breast that looked kinda like a small boil, and looked like it was filled with pus and blood, and when i tried to pop it, (which I know i shouldn't have done) very little came out, it wouldn't drain hardly at all. Then today it looks like the pic below, so it's an open wound, but I don't know whether I should go to the doctor because it's so small. It is not sore, except when I touch it, it stings. I bet you guys will say "better be safe than sorry" but do you think it would go away on its own? i put neosporin ointment on it.

I would say, since popping it didn't fix it, I would go to the doctor. I don't know if it's staph but it looks like it's going deeper. Do you have a temperature or is the wound itself hot?

There's no way of knowing what it is without culturing it. Please do not pop it or mess with it anymore. If you can keep clean and dry, with a dressing/sterile gauze over it to prevent further spread meanwhile in case it is oozing, that might help. I would have it checked by your doc to be safe and to get some help with it. (((((Krisakira))))))
