I had this huge zit about a week ago, and i popped it, that was huge mistake, because for the past few days ive had a huge skin coloured scab covering it, and its horrible to look at, whenever i move my face it splits open , so i definately need advice on how to get rid of it....so if anyone can help with this let me know .. thanx.
I'd suggest going to a dermatologist. They can prescribe something exactly right for it. I know what you are going through! I always get those pimples that hurt so bad, you cannot help but to pick at them. Usually some heat will speed the process of heating. I use one of those gel bags you can heat up & wrap a washcloth around it. You don't want to burn your skin.
My dr gave me bactroban for one that I made a mess out of. It cleared in aabout two days if I stoppoed touching it.

I suggest using Neosporin and just coating your scab whenever you can during the day (obviously when you're not out in public) and of course at night. I slather it on right on the spot so that it's a big white glob, and only wipe it off when I need to go out in the world. Use the cream kind, not the ointment as it won't clog your pores as much. Neosporin has done miracles for me before. In a day or two, your scab will be ready to peel off (just don't peel off until it's ready!) and you'll have fresh healed skin underneath. The trick is to keep the scab moist, and Neosporin also has healing agents. You'll probably have a dark mark leftover but I recommend the Aspirin mask for this. Good luck!
