I would grit my teeth and pop it. Clean it with peroxide and put some neosporin on it and LEAVE it alone. That's me though.
I heard a dot of plain old toothpaste will dry it up and it will be gone in 8 hours.

There are 3 things that I have found that work very well. Choose one, not all 3, though! If you do all 3, your skin will get very dry.
1. Dab toothpaste (not gel) on it and let it dry.
2. Mix baking soda with water, pat on, let dry.
3. Mix aspirin (that you grind up) with water, pat on, let dry. With one this big, this may be your best bet.
Keep any of these on for as long as you can stand it; no more than an hour.
Also, drink a lot of water. It will hydrate your skin and keep it looking healthier...and, it may help to "flush out" the pimple a bit.
Good luck!

Wet a wash cloth with hot water (as hot as you can bear) .. pressthe hot towel to the pimple .. this will soften it and may even cause it to ooze. Then apply a benzoyl peroxide medication or even any flouride toothpaste to dry it up. This will diminish most of the swelling ... use a little concealer tomorrow to get rid of any leftover redness.

Scar? You would only get a scar if you pick at it. Don't.
Put some acne medicine on it. You buy it at the store. Will it be gone tomorrow? No. There's nothing that will get rid of it by then. Nothing.
But don't touch it! That will make it worse. Put the medicine on it and leave it alone.

put some tooth paste on it and let it dry, before you leave just wipe it off and you should be good. Toothpaste helps dry out all the puss and oil. Good luck! (oh yeah and only the paste kind not the gel)

You can't. I've been there many times. The only thing that will remove it is time. Sorry :( We've all been there.

rub tea tree oil on it. This works real well.
It's gonna sting, but it will get rid of it.
