DO NOT EXFOLIATE THEM.
Haha, but you could put hot steaming towels on them. Or stay in a steam room (or a shower) for a couple of hours. The pus needs to come out - it sounds like boils.

try putting a hot,damp compress on it. keep it on for a few hours or until it comes to a head and the puss comes out....ew.. in know! it should make the pimple go away faster. not sure how to keep them away, sorry...maybe exfoliate.
