This bump that you have could be a type of pimple called a whitehead (an example only). It can sometimes be several days before it's time to try and pop it using the help of a warm, wet face towel on the area for about 5 minutes to soften things up.

The other thing you could try to ease the pain is take some Tylenol for a day or two but because of the size of this bump I would recommend seeing a doctor to at least them evaluate it (can be done just by looking at it). Sometimes with pimples (if it is that) then after a time (like a few days to a week) they can be popped with the nail by yourself or something my doctor did when I had a pimple removed from one of the areas she used a special kind of like clamp (not a needle) to help remove it.
