How do I reduce the redness of a pimple after it has been popped?

I couldn%26#039;t resist... I know it%26#039;s terrible to pop them but I couldn%26#039;t help myself. Now I have a huge red spot that looks worse than the original pimple. How do I reduce the redness within a day or two (read: by work on Monday) without covering it up with makeup?|||Put an ice cube on it. And add a drop of tea tree or lavender oil to sterilise it and stop it getting infected. As long as you leave it alone it%26#039;ll be fine by Monday.|||well dont touch the red area it will make it worse. put ice on it. and then maybe some neosporean i have no idea i usually just put my foundation on it..|||Neosporin and noxema cream|||dont poke it or fiddle around with it and put something cold on it like a frozen steak or ice...
