Popped pimple accidentally 7 days post OP - Infection? (Photo)

allygemini1988
I have gotten a few pimples since surgery and have been putting acne medication on them and they have been going away. I absentmindedly scratched my chest and popped one (or the whitehead fell off) and since I am 7 days post-op, I'm wondering if this will cause an infection? Thanks in advance! (FYI: pic below is taken 15 minutes after popping and being sanitized with an alcohol pad.)
