Dear Patient

One of the complications that may arise when you try to pop a zit at home is cellulitis which is inflammation of the surrounding tissues after infection has been introduced.

Therefore do not pop a zit at home.

Since the area looks quite inflammed, I suggest you get a prescription of a course of antibiotics like Flucloxacillin for at least one week.
