Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed secondary infection over the face after application of ginger. These areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area. You can apply an antibiotic cream such as gentamycin cream. Antibiotic tablets are must such as ciprofloxacin under medical advise. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Consult family physician at the earliest for further treatment.
