Well, to some, acne is embarresing, but you have to remember, most people have some form of it through out their life. Usually, my face looks the worst after I wash it at night. (i have very sensitive skin). If I have a pimple that is very annoying and it hurts, I take a piece of ice and put it in a bag and put it on the zit for a while. It might hurt if the zit is red but it will help. It takes away the redness and keeps it from getting bigger. I usually do the "ice trick" at night , because, for one, you look really stupid walking around with ice on your face, and plus if you do it after you wash your face and when you wake up in the morning, the zit will either be smaller or maybe even gone.
