Hey guys...
I had a cyst like protrusion on my left cheek for about 8 months. Once in a while, I tried to pop that thing, but nothing would happen. It was neither a whitehead nor a blackhead. Yesterday, I gave in and popped it with pressure. On popping, white puss literally splashed on my mirror and it was messy. 
Now, I'm left with a dark purple-brown mark, and it is whitiesh in the middle and somewhat moist. It looks horrible as I have a olive skin type. I'm applying Salicylic acid once in a while, but it still looks bad. It has a brownish ring surrounding the middle part that is white or pink. 
it looks really bad, what should be done?

Well, it seems like the cyst wasn't ready to be popped. I've had cysts last for months and months at a time. I recommend a video ;
This really helped me when I had cysts, similar to what yours looked like. Best of luck!
