All you can do is try a pimple medicine something like Clearasil. I found the WalMart Equate brand to work the best. Use a daily cleanser that helps prevent facial blemishes.

Use something topical like Retina (prescription) or Saliyic Acid or Benzone peroixde (OTC). I have found that Neutragena pimple remover the best emergency OTC aid there is. Those products will take 2-3 days to complete remove the pimple. You can also dab a little tea tree oil on it to dry it out (the best method as it could be gone overnight).
Be sure to wash your face with a mild soap or acne wash to prevent any more breakouts. Neutragena, Clearsol, Clean and Clear, or Proactiv for major cases.

Actually, if it is this far, then it would probably be best if you did let it come to a head. Cover it w/ the sticky part of a band-aid when you go to bed. Overnight, the heat should bring the pus to the surface, and begin the healing. As far as reducing the size and redness, I have heard to use Preparation-H (for butts) If it shrinks hemmoroids, then it can probably shrink your pimple! Tea tree oil is also very good, a natural anti-bacterial topical oil that you can apply directly to the pimple to encourage healing.

Pimples are caused by dirt and oil getting in a pore so that the pore becomes infected. There is a topical antibiotic called Cleosin which you need a prescription for and comes in a roll-on bottle. It kills the infection and dries the skin around the pimple.
