try dabbing toothpaste on it. If it's a pimple, it should help dry it up.

If you already popped it and there is a scar, the best way to help it heal quickly is to put an pure water non-oil moisturizer right on it (put a big dab) and let it sink in. The damaged skin will heal better when it is well moisturized. Clinique Moisture Surge Extra is an excellent product for this and I find that it helps all of my blemishes to heal more quickly.
If there is fluid and pus inside the pimple, putting a dab of first aid cream on the spot overnight will draw it to the top, making it easier to pop and clean it all out. Then follow with overnight and morning treatments of moisturizing like above.

do you have any skin care lotion lying around the house? (not perfumed, cause that usually has oil additives in it) if so,try putting a dab of that lotion on the red bump and it should take care of it. it sounds like that part of your skin is irritated, so try not to put anything besides make up on that part of your face or that will just make it worse. you can also try soaking a soft material wash cloth in warm water for a minute, and then when you go to bed/ take a nap lay it on your face. make sure not to put it on for too long, or it will make your skin really dry.

Dont touch or pop it. If you simply clean you're face as usual (and maybe apply toothpaste to it at night) it will go away in 3-4days.
But because you already squeezed it, it will propably be there longer than a week.
Dont touch it!

Don't touch it! Some people suggest toothpaste, but I've never tried it. I think you should only resort to it if you don't have sensitive skin, as it can irritate. The toothpaste is supposed to dry out your pimple.

Probably not, hon. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you have one of those under-the-skin cysts that hurt like a by-atch and take a few weeks to go away. You can try to cover it with green-tinted makeup (Physicians Formula makes some, available at Wal-Mart), but you'll probably just have to wait it out.

Steam it for a few moments, and then leave it alone.
or
use toothpaste (not the gel kind)
alcohol burns and can cause scarring- so i wouldn't recommend it.

get a hot wet wash cloth, and put it on the "THING" for about 3 minutes. this should bring the puss to a head, and numb it somewhat. now you can squeeze it.

I use alcohol (or in a pinch, cologne or aftershave, since they're mostly alcohol). Most acne medicines are loaded with rubbing alcohol.
