Hi I had a bad picking episode and I need help because it’s infected

For context I’m a first year uni student living away from home. I’m alone and I have been stressed out with all my exams. I’m on ADHD meds which I’ve learnt makes this all a bit worse. Besides that, I had an exam I was procrastinating and spent like 6 hrs just picking at my legs. The next day I woke up with it being tender and I noticed some had pus marks. I put savalon over it and pimple patches but I popped it first. The pimple patches didn’t hold and more infected like pimples almost keep appearing where I picked my legs. I’ve got at least 20 and some are really red and warm to touch. I’m worried about it but nothing is working. I don’t have a lot of money to buy anything crazy special but I just don’t know how to get them to heal faster. Any advice helps!
