Why do some spots/pimples hurt like hell while others are painless?

Question

As an example; a facial pimple.

I’ve experienced it render half of my face slightly swollen and sting to touching anywhere near it. Yet I’ve had other spots burst-through-cleaning and not felt a thing?

I can’t get my head around it.

First you have to determine whether it’s a pimple or an ingrown hair. Ingrown hairs will tend to hurt. Pimples do not.
