I woke up with this huge pimple on my forehead - it has no head and it is swollen and hurts to the touch. Any quick fixes for this?

Cystic Acne is unfortunately the worst. I used to have them all over my face so I feel your pain. Don't touch it!! I know it's hard not to but don't, you don't want another one popping up somewhere else. Hide it the best you can. My suggestion and what has worked for me? Raw honey. It sounds weird but it's true. I got raw honey from trader joes. Tonight, rub some on the pimple, and put a bandajd over it. Go to sleep. In the morning it should be smaller. Repeat steps until gone. I even use the honey as a face wash. It does amazing things for the skin! Read about it :)

Ouch that sounds awful. as ren said, honey is a good home remedy as it has anti-inflammatory properties. you could also put some diluted tea tree oil on it overnight. I hope it gets better soon :)

Dot some Tea Tree oil (:
Dilute it if your skin is sensitive

Steam your skin or just take a hot washcloth to the area and leave it for a minute. Don't try to pop it :(
