I need to get rid of it ASAP!I have a large under the skin pimple on my cheek
Unfortunately I picked at it and it bled and has gotten worse.
What can I do to get rid of it, or ease the coloring and swelling ?
Hot water compresses and peroxide?

Ashley Patrie - I'm in your same situation, I have one on my cheek, under my skin too. But, what I've learnt is that picking it is most possibly the worst thing you can do. It can pull the skin off and cause a scab which can take up to weeks to get rid of. One thing you must know, DO NOT TOUCH AN UNDER THE SKIN SPOT. It has no head, so it can't be popped anyway so anything you do to it will just simply irritate it and make it bigger and redder. So, first thing you do is DON'T PICK IT ANYMORE. Second thing, soak a flannel or something similar in hot hot hot water and press against the pimple, this will reduce the swelling and redness of it. Then maybe put some toothpaste (the paste, not the gel type) on it for overnight, this will help dry it out if you have picked at it.
