I've heard of using neosporin to help the swelling!

I'm not sure! But if it's cystic it will help with the pain too!

I heard using really hot water on a cloth and then holding it over the area for 20 seconds then relaxing and then repeating a few minutes later

I would recommend crushing aspirin and mixing it with water till it becomes a paste and put it on the pimple. That works wonders for me!

I doubt you have any tea tree oil handy, but if you do, that will help soothe it.

Haha, I figured. :p Not a very common household item I suppose. Well, next time you go to the store, try to remember it. :p Just in case you have this again.

Try ice or just put some olive oil on the pimple.
