How to banish a pimple of volcanic proportions?

Two days ago it started.
It was a Tuesday morning. I woke feeling fresh and ready to take on the world, oblivious to the nightmarish horror I was about to witness.
Climbing out of bed, I felt the familiar feeling of happiness, the feeling I got on most days due to the constant reminder of how I was a young healthy person with my whole life ahead of me. I skipped to the bathroom with a spring in my step, ready to come into contact with my gorgeous complexion in the bathroom mirror.
I froze midway through my recital of "Don't Stop Believing", to see what had become of my face.
Surely it was a mistake? My vision must simply be a little faulty, I had only just woken up after all, I reassured myself.
I rubbed my eyes a little to get the sleep out of them.

But there was no mistake.

There was no way of getting out of this one.

On the left side of my face, balanced upon the apple of my cheek, sat a very large, unforgiving volcano of a pimple. To add to my distress, it was, and still is under my skin. Both literally and metaphorically. I wanted to break down there and then.

And that is how my nightmare started. I feel like a hideous embarrassment to humanity.

Please fellow GaGgers, help me.
