Q: Lip Is Purple After Boil?

It started out feeling like a pimple was about to appear under my skin. Odd thing was it was on my upper lip. I let it pass for a few days and I could finally see what I thought was a head. It looked (key word) like a boil, because I had one before (not on my lip though). So I read up on it and it said that when it comes to a head... It's ready to drain... So I pinched the skin a little bit with a cleaned nail clipper and some clear liquid came out. Im thinking... Everything is gonna be ok. Well, it's been several days and a scab is forming but is easily irriated and sometimes it bleeds and has to start scabbing again. What im worried about is that I noticed that there is a little bit of area around the scab that is purple. Does anyone have information as to why a little bit of my lip is purple?


Thanks,

You might think of having it checked out, it might be infected.
