[Acne] Help! Tried to Pop a Cyst!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So I had a small bump on my cheek, which kind of looked like this, which I prodded until it swelled up. I tried to ignore it but my damn fingers continued to prod it. I woke up today and it was pretty swollen. With some amazing self control I managed to leave it alone for the day, that is until just now when I did something very very stupid.I really thought that it might just be a pimple that I could I could put a needle through and drain (not thinking about it leaking internally). I don't have a good cyst draining needle, so instead I opted for a thumb-tack (yes, I'm cringing). I wanted to be hygienic, though, so I sanitized the thumb-tack in mouthwash (yes, I'm stupid). I poked it in and then pressed; a little bit of acne pus came out, but it was mostly just a lot of liquid mixed with blood. In another attempt to be sanitary, I rubbed it down with my Nip + Fab glycolic/salicylic acid pads and then put benzoyl peroxide and a bandaid on it.What should I do now (besides see a doctor)? It's still just as swollen. I was thinking maybe a hydrocolloid bandage or something but I'm not sure what to buy (CVS product recommendations anyone?).
