So I'm from Holland and we have something called Qday. Everybody is celebrating the Queen etc. So party everywhere!

But! I have been to enthusiastic with baking soda and now I got big wounds of dried pimples on my face... nooooooooo! I want to get rid of them asap!
Any ideas? It must not make me break out more or dry me out. I know not easy...

O and something I found out:
when I have squeezed out some whiteheads and I put on something sour like lemon juice or apple cider it makes it worse! Do you have this too?

I use to have problems with breakouts and oily skin. I started using a mixture of castor oil and evoo. I had the mindset that washing my face several times a day would be great for my complexion. WRONG. I was stripping my face of its natural oils which was damaging my face even more. it looked very similar to what you describe. Adjust the ratio depending on how oily your face tends to be. I used the parts castor oil to one part evoo. massage it into your face for a few minutes and then place a warm wash cloth over your face and remove it when it has cooled completely. I generally do it once in the morning and once at night.

While I agree with Mairead that you should avoid squeezing, lemon and apple cider are acidic and should never be used on broke skin like a fresh popped pimple. Keep the area clean and put a thin layer of neosporin/triple antibiotic over it and leave it alone to heal.
