stuipd pimples under the skin drive me crazy

of course I was stupid as usuall.. and because im SO lucky, I didnt get just one pimple on my face.. i got another one on the other side of my face.. so if u drew a line down my face the pimples would be symmetrical to one another, not sure how that happens. but of course.. they were both UNDER the skin, and nothing I was using worked. I was using st.ives cleanser .. nothing.. went back to using the grapefruit cleanser.. jsut dried up my skin.. went back to using proactive.. and I thought I saw a difference but not really. Then I couldnt take it anymore so I tried to pop the pimple, which if you have had a pimple under the skin, and try to pop it, its really painful and probably NOT a goodidea. but i didnt know what else to do. of course it started bleeding andthe bump was still there. so the next day I went to rite aid and found a cream called zapzyt.. it was cheap and dermatoligst recommended so I decided to get it. I used it in a day and already reduced the size of the pimple on the left side of my face. however the one on the right hurts like hell, keeps getting hard and scabby and it looks ridiculous on my face. I use the zapzyt hoping it will heal the one on the right but I don't think it will. what should i do about it if theres anything I can do at all? or do i have to just wait it out til it gets better?
