I have an underneath pimple which feels very big in size and it has caused all around it to go red and now swollen, how do i get the swelling down?

See your doctor: If redness, swelling, or pain is spreading, you should see your doctor. You may have an abscess (a collection of pus under the skin) which may require antibiotic treatment.
