Answer 1

For a quick fix you can place a warm wet tea bag over the area or a cotton ball dipped in lemon juice (don't use lemon juice if you have a sensitive skin). Check out http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/ for more info and home remedies.  

Answer 2

Know When It’s Mature

Prematurely popping a pimple causes a mild skin infection. It can also cause a cyst by forcing the infection further down into the follicle shaft. What’s worse, it can also cause a permanent scar, which is a major beauty no-no. To know when you’re pimple is right for pricking, wait until you can see yellow pus that’s about to break out form the skin. This is the signal that your pimple is okay for you to prick and that it won’t be too painful to do so. Have you tried pricking a premature pimple? It definitely can hurt.

Perform Your Own Surgery

Popping a pimple with your bare fingers might not be a good idea. If you have sensitive skin, this may further aggravate the infection that’s already caused the pimple in the first place. Instead, get a bottle of alcohol, gauze (band-aid is fine), a sewing needle (not the large one!) and warm water. Sterilize the needle entirely (not just the tip). There’s no need for some lit candle to run the needle through it, you’re not a quack doctor!

Wash Your Hands

Any surgery requires thorough washing of your hands. Though popping a pimple is nowhere near minor surgery, you have to make sure you won’t introduce new germs to your ripe pimple because there’s a tendency you might touch the pimple and the goo while popping. For a safer measure, sterilize you hands with alcohol before you proceed to popping. Wash both your face and hands before you start.

Prick with Grace

You don’t need to prick your pimple with the needle with any degree of depth. Just prick it very lightly. You may use the gauze to cover your fingers by placing two small squares near both sides of the pimple. Using two fingers, apply ample pressure that’s enough to squeeze out the pus from the pore. Resume doing this until only a clear liquid comes out from the pricked pimple. When blood appears, that’s your signal that the all pus is removed and it’s time to stop.

Answer 7

Toothpaste (not gel) does work really well. Colgate is good. Wash your face and put a dab of it on your pimple. Leave it there overnight. Dries it out nicely. its usually gone or greatly diminished by morning.
