How can i quickly get rid of red pimples?

I had 3 zits on my face and I popped them, and now they are all red and inflamed. I have somewhere to be in about 3 hours, so I'd like to have a mostly clear face. What can I do to reduce the redness and swelling quickly? Thanks.How can i quickly get rid of red pimples?
Remove any make-up you have on. Wearing make-up can clog pores, making them dirty and causing pimples. Also try to wear oil-free makeup (if you have oily skin) or a medicated makeup.





Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.





Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-exfoliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed.





Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.How can i quickly get rid of red pimples?
There is a product i use called Neutrogena Rapid Clear Spot Gel


and it works amazingly well !!!! it's about 14 bucks but it's totally worth it! it's at Shoppers Drug mart, it comes in a smallish orange and grey box with the name on it just read the and follow the directions and it should help a lot! if you can't go buy it just go up stairs wash your face ( ad yes this will sound dumb) but put tooth paste on the zits ! this also works, no joke i've tried it ! just makes sure you take it off before you go out hope i helped =]
It wont go away that fast. Over night it will calm down a bit but there will be a scar. So your best bet would be to maybe apply some make up to cover it.
i read somewhere that if you wrap an ice cube in like a thin towel i think, it brings down the swelling and stuff.
