Hi and thanks for using the forum.

I never suggest that you pop these types of things.  YOu can do way more harm then good- leaving yourself open for infection and the possiblity of scarring.  You should see a dermatologist with this.  I am not sure what it is- it does not look like eczema from the picture.  It is possible that it is  a cold sore, but I cannot be sure.  In the meantime, treat it like it is contagious and be sure to wash your hands frequently to prevent spreading it.  Good luck.
