I had a fairly large pimple appear on my face yesterday morning. Although i know that you're not supposed to, i couldn't resist popping it as it was getting on my nerves.

After i popped it it started turning brown and now ive got a brown spot on my cheek.

Would just like to know whether this means i have melanoma or if it is a normal thing for pimples to turn brown after they pop.

Would appreciate any opinions or help.

Thank you
