Without seeing a doctor, the best thing you can do immediantly is to put 2.5% benzoyl peroxide on it. Although it is a temptation to pop it, don't as this will result is scars which will be with you all through life.
You can obtain benzoyl peroxide which has cosmetic coloring in it, which will help to disguise it. There is a bit of a trick to applying it so as to not look like a brown spot over a zit, but its easy to do.
If you go to a doctor, a regular dose of Doxycycline once a day will do wonders for knocking them out.
You also have the option of accutane, but it is much more expensive and has some side effects.
As others mentioned, wash your face daily, once every two or three days, use an exfoliant such as St, Ives See at:http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/St_Ives_Apricot_Scrub__68437
you can find it at Walmart in the skin care area and is about $2.00 a tube or so.
Using isopropal alcohol will also help. You can use it two or three times a day if your face is oily, but it will dry your skin.
Probably the best long term solution is going to the doctor for doxycycline. . It works wonders.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots
Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

5. Keep your face clean, wash with warm water every taking bath, it will clean your face from sebum that often overproduce in patient with acne.
6. Solve and get relax with the problem you had.
7. Don't apply cream or powder to your face, it only make it more severe.
In particular;
Use Tretinoin 0.025% gel every night, wash it before you go outside at the morning. In a nodule and cystic form, you can apply a sulphur 3% zalp form. antibiotics Doxycycline 40 mg once per day for 1 month can help to reduce the pustular form of acne.
Consult with your dermatologist first

There are no immediate fast fixes! However, proper cleaning of your face will result in a much faster healing time.
Developing a proper diet and drinking plenty of water also help.
