Assistant: First, I can tell that you’re describing a “pimple”, which is an acne blemish.   Acne is caused by bacteria, and the bacteria make enzymes that break down your skin’s oils and dead skin cells.  This causes the skin to become inflamed, which is what we call a pimple.  Over-the-counter drugs such as benzoyl peroxide can reduce the amount of bacteria in your skin, and in some cases can help pimples heal more quickly.  But usually we need to see a doctor for acne, to get it treated with stronger medicines.  If you’re seeing a doctor, they will prescribe medicine such as antibiotics or retinol, to get rid of the acne.  It may take a few weeks, depending on the strength of the medicine you’re prescribed.
