It hurts like heck, and I swim a lot, so I am afraid of water getting trapped back their, and getting swimmers ear.

Hi Ashley!!!
I know they hurt but the last thing you should do is to touch it or "pop" it!!!! It could gorw them inwards, creating kind of a volcano effect, where the infection will be trapped deeper and in different directions.
The best thing is to apply a cotton ball, damped in warm alcohol (NOT HOT)!!!!! Apply several times, for few days, mornings and nights or as often as you can!!!
This will help the pores to open and the infection to come out faster, without having to "pop" it.
After you apply the cotton with warm alcohol, apply some acne, medication as 10 % Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, or acne med. based with 3.00 % Sulfur.
You need to keep applying this even after it errupts. This
med. treatment will kill the bacteria that is causing the infection.
Do NOT, peel the scab off!!! Let it heal it self, if you pell the scab off, it will continue to get infected and it will take longer to cure.
The Murad Co. has very good products, and is what I use, to keep my complexion, clear of acne, pimples, black or whiteheads. I highly recomended, Pro Active is also good.
This two are a little expensive, but you can also buy Oxy Ten, which is 10% Benzoyl Peroxide based, if you use it daily, ONLY ON THE AFFECTED AREA, (just a dab on top), it will work just fine two!!
GOOD LUCK, GOD BLESS YOU & I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON

Hi, I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acne prone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria. In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

No! Don't pop it! If you do, you'll get scars, which are even worse.
I use some pimple care products to slather all my pimple-covered areas. The company is called Murad, and it works extremely well. Try finding their products in a pharmacy or something that offers health care products.

I had a pimple on the outer inside part of my ear, and I put rubbing alcohol on it (carefully, with a Q-tip), for a week and it decreased in size. [hydrogen peroxide works too.]

Put a little neosporin on it, the antibiotic in there will keep it from hurting, making you resist the urge to squeeze it.
