7 steps to get rid of your pimple:
1. Don’t ever pinch, squeeze or pick at a pimple. This only causes it to become more red and inflamed, and will spread the bacteria and oils that caused it in the first place, to other parts of your face! It can also lead to scars.
2. Every 30 minutes, apply an ice pack to the pimple and hold it there for about 2 minutes. This will decrease the swelling and redness and help shrink the inflammation and pain that sometimes comes along with it.
3. They don’t call it concealer for nothing! Covering the pimple with a light dose of flesh-tinted concealer can help mask it when you’re in a hurry. It also helps cover up that oily shine.
4. Cleanse your skin 2-3 times a day with mild, unscented soap or a specialized acne cleanser that has no harsh chemicals (such as lye). Scrub skin gently with an exfoliating pad or washcloth, but don’t rub too hard, otherwise you’ll sap your skin of its own natural oils, which help to repel buildup naturally.
5. Apply a cream or ointment containing benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid (many over-the-counter acne medicines contain these ingredients) to the blemish or around the entire facial area. Note that these ingredients both have a tendency to dry out skin if used too much and are not recommended if you have sensitive skin.
6. Wear oil-free makeup whenever possible. These types have less of a tendency to cause the pore buildup that results in blemishes. Remove your makeup nightly and cleanse with an acne-fighting medicine to remove dirt, oil and makeup from deep within the skin.
7. If you’re in need of a quick fix, a dab of toothpaste on the affected area right before bed can help soothe irritation and reduce redness. Pressing and holding a wet tea bag or a cotton ball with a dab of lemon juice against the blemish for five minutes can also reduce swelling and redness.

I would go to a dermetoligist before it gets worse. If you dont want to do this I wouls suggest starting on proactiv or using clean and clear. I also have this amazing face mask that you can use as a spot treatment as well. Its very acne, pimples, and it shrinks pores. It's called Queen Helenes. Here is the website where you can get it http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...
I would seriously get it! It's inexpensive too!
Good Luck!

Aloe gel daily applied. Either get the plant itself and use the gel inside or get it at a pharmacy. And it should clear that up for you.

wash your face everyday with a cleanser/scrub and try out different products like proactive, clean & clear, nuetrogena, etc. so you can see what works best for you. also, if you go to a spa and get a facial, it feels amazing and it will help your skin clear out. good luck.
