Answer 1

Heat and tea tree oil are the favorite remedies at my house. If the zit is already forming, the tea tree oil can sometimes limit the ultimate size or sometimes discourage it. Heat will help encourage it to form up and drain faster. Since you already noticed it, I think heat would be the best option to start. Use a hot washrag, hot as you can stand it, applied as often as you can. Do not otherwise poke, squeeze or prod the zit. You do not want to rupture it under the skin, as that will only make matters worse and take it longer to heal. Apply a tiny bit of tea tree oil to the spot at night, before bed. Use it at night, since the oil has an odor some find objectionable, but it will fade while you sleep and you won't be bothered. Otherwise, forgo the lotions and potions until it has formed a head and drained. Afterwards, you can apply any of the commercial pimple products containing salicylic acid to dry up excess oil in the area. The tea trea oil will also help assist healing. Unfortunately there are no instant cures or preventatives. You can also do a steam facial, face over a steamy pot of water, which helps it drain once it starts to form a head. Keep the general area clean with antibacterial soap, and keep the hands away from it. Be very careful to touch it with clean hands, and not to touch anyplace else on your face, as you can spread the bacteria to other spots- which may be how this one came to be, since you recently had a bad one. Sorry- that's the best way I know.
