on top of the other answers, which were good, take a face steam bath. Turn on water in the sink to as hot as it can be. Put a towel over your head, and lean over into the steam for a few minutes. Squeeze it gently (don't pick or squeeze hard--that can cause scarring). If it still doesn't want to pop, put some cold water on it and repeat the process. It can take a few times, but this has always worked for me and it gets rid of it fairly quickly. Make sure when you are done to close the pores by splashing some cool water in your face (otherwise your pores that are open due to the heat are susceptible to bacteria thus causing more problems) and put a light, oil free moisturizer on (otherwise your face can dry out and cause your oil glands to over-produce and cause even more problesms) hth

Also for pimple redness, apply visine eyedrops
Take an egg and crack it over the sink and let the white of the egg go into a bowl; use the white to dab on your pimple. Leave on overnight or for 20 minutes. It should help suck out the nasty stuff in that pimple
Tea Tree Oil is obtained from the Melaleuca alternifoliais tree from Australia. It is very effective against Acne as it contains bacteria-fighting substances called Terpenes. Acne is often caused by bacteria and the Terpenes either outright kill them or weaken them enough to be destroyed by protective antibodies. There are very little side effects from using Tea Tree Oil.
Aloe Vera
The watery gel from Aloe Vera plant is also a highly effective natural cure against Acne. The enzyme-rich gel has very soothing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It can also be taken internally and helps clean up and detox the digestive tract. This in turn can help clear up the skin.
Zinc
Zinc is taken in the form of capsules. It helps to strengthen the human immune system and to repair the skin.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective Acne cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E also helps in countering Acne. It is a natural antioxidant and beneficial for the skin. Vitamin E comes in soft gelatin capsules that contain Vitamin E, Soybean Oil, Glycerin, and Water.
Some Natural Homemade Cures to counter Acne
The most important thing to do if you suffer from Acne is to drink at least four pints of water every day. Drinking a lot of water is very beneficial to your skin. Including fresh fruit and leafy green vegetables in your daily diet will also bring about a marked improvement in the quality of your complexion.
Before bathing, apply a mixture of tomato pulp – real tomota pulp, not packaged one – honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
At night, before going to bed, apply a mix of cream, glycerine, and lemon juice to your face and again keep it on for a short while before washing.
Regular Yoga exercises will also improve skin and overall health.
Things to Avoid
Avoid touching your face all the time, keep your hair away from your face, and avoid picking at pimples.
Another important thing if you're prone to Acne is to avoid using heavy make-up – in fact, it is preferable to avoid make-up altogether. For an effective cure, stay as natural as possible.

An old fashioned remedy: toothpaste. No joke -it really works.
If you want to buy something: Mary Kay acne cream is great. It's not cheap though!

Pop it! I mean it. Pop it and put a dab of perfume on it. It will hurt like hell but it will be gone. A trick my mum taught me. It really works.
