idk what this is i popped a blackhead and this showed up i put alcohol and it stinged its red all the time it looks like skin is coming of i wash my face every night with a cleanser i put cream on it for the dryness how do i get rid of it or does it go away on its own i had since monday.
Looks like a pimple to me. It'll go away eventually. Sometimes I'll get a little pimple right there too. Just in case, don't kiss anyone who has something like that around their mouth. It could be a cold sore and those are contagious. It could also be a canker sore.
I was concerned that it is a cold sore. I have HSV-I and it is so common that literally anyone can pick it up from anywhere. In this case it sounds like a pimple (squeezing blackheads can actually force bacteria deeper into the skin). But if it starts to itch, blister, or spread, see a doctor to make sure it isn't a cold sore.

Does it look like a blister? Does it itch, sting, or have a scab?

And whatever you do, don't mess with it or it'll get bigger and more red.
