or swelling and redness?

Buy a tube of Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque (about $4 or $5) at the drugstore or Sally's. Dab some on before bed & leave overnight. This is a great cheap way of dealing w/those break outs.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

It calms down itching and burning sensations. It does not cure acne.
The only known and 100% effective cure to acne is a long term treatment under strict medical control and follow-up : "Ro-Acutane". (up to 1 year), but you will then have a baby skin for the rest of your life.
Ask your dermatologist about it.

To get out the redness from acne use visine,its for your eyes but works on pimples as well. To dry up a pimple use tooth paste,caladryl will only clog the pore more,it may take down some of the redness but its not the best thing to use. If its swollen put some ice on it and that will take the swelling down

NO it will dry out the skin. It will peel and become very painful. Use any facial soap(check the label make sure it doesn't have achool in it) Use a mild toner and a light lotion. Make sure none of it has achool in it. Use ice for the swelling.

no, i think caladryl is for itchiness only, acne is cured with toothpaste as first aid then go to the nearest dermatologist for facials in that way your face will be ftree from acne

im not too sure about caladryl but changing your diet definatly helps. if you eat foods high in potassium such as nuts or seafood such as shrimps or oysters it will help balance it out. also avoid fatty foods and foods high in sugar.
