How to get rid of pimples!?

so I have this "big" red pimple on my right cheek and it's really big and I put toothe paste on it last night and that did nothing, then I tried to use the hot water popping technique but that did nothing, but I don't know if I have a whitehead... and then I put toothpaste on it for like 40 minutes then washed it off gently, and that barely did anything. PLEASE HELP I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL LN THE FIRST DAY WITH A BIG RED PIMPLE..):

Thanks so much In advance!!(:

    Home remedies For pimples

    Toothpaste

    Use the non-gel kind. Squeeze a little dab of it onto a clean finger and apply to the pimple. Since toothpaste dries over night, it reduces inflammation in your pimple, allowing the swelling to go down. It also pulls pus out from the pimple.

    Baking Soda

    A paste made of baking soda and water offers the same benefits of toothpaste and is a great alternative if you just don’t feel look putting something sticky and minty on your skin. Allow the baking soda paste to stay on your skin overnight to fully dry out the pimple.

    White Vinegar

    There is a reason many face wash products smell so bitter—acid. The acidity of white vinegar can actually dissolve pus within a zit. Since it’s the puss that causes the pimple to be swollen, the pimple will reduce in size once the pus is pulled out. Put a little bit onto a cotton swap and pat it on the pimple.

    Ice

    You put an icepack on an injury to reduce inflammation. Well, consider that pimple an injury. And it is one to your ego, right? Rub an ice cube over any puffy or red areas of your skin to reduce inflammation.

    Visine

    Really any product meant to reduce redness in your eyes will work. These products restrict blood vessels, pulling blood away from the surface and taking away color. Eye-drop products can do the same for a pimple.

    Best luck
