Bump Like Pimple Under Skin, Tender And Oozing Inside After Popping. Suggest

I had a bump like a pimple under skin with no head, doctor told me to do warm compresses and try and pop it. I did that but last night I heard it pop inside and now is tender and whatever was inside seems to have spread because I can hear ans feel it? What can I do I'm going on vacation and don't want to have him cut it out and get stitches
