Oh I know others will disagree with me, but I see no reason to ever lance anything yourself. There is a great chance for infection, and I'd rather a doc do that.

The only topicals used to treat MC are Aldara and Retin-A. Anything else is likely to be a scam. Aldara is used more typically, and is available only with a prescription.
You can also have them cauterized or frozen, similar to warts.
Once one ruptures, be sure to clean up the contents carefully, as the centers of MC lesions contain the virus itself. However, once one breaks apart, normally it will heal just fine.
Some people actually lance the lesions intentionally to speed the healing process, but I would not recommend you do this yourself unless you're very confident you can do it correctly. Some doctors also will do this, but I don't believe it's as common as freezing and cauterizing.
Its not bad, necessarily, though I'm not sure what you mean by "bad."
I don't know what that cream is, and I would talk to your doc about it before using it.

You need to tell your gf about this, as its very infectious.
The only way to prevent the spread of it is to avoid skin to skin contact.
