Taking The Swelling Down

I've just popped a couple of large and gross puss-filled pimples.

Got all the white out and immediately desinfected with tee tree oil (stinged like never before).

Seems a scab is already forming but the swelling has gone away.

Any advices as to what I could put on these to take the swelling down?

Got pure aloe vera gel at home (100% aloe vera and carbomer). Would that help out?

Take an advil or ibuprofen, and BP to dry it out and kill any remaining bacteria to make sure the infection is gone.

I have to get some BP. Have applied an antibiotic ointment but it doesn't seem to kill the bacteria inside. Puss is reforming all the time!
