Hello. Im need advice on what kind of acne i have and how to treat it fast. 

I'm getting Married this Saturday and a few days ago this thing shows up on my left cheek right by my nose.
(pics below)

What is it?? How can I treat it to at least make the swelling go down??

Please any advice would be appreciated greatly.

Just dont pick it or touch it,creams usualy contain chemicals,even though they help calm and clear acne they also react with our skin and we get chemical burns.

Got it.
But can you tell what you think it might be?

I dont see a White or Black head.

Its just a painful red bump.

Oh no!!! Congrats on your upcoming marriage though!!
I think it looks like it could be the very beginning of a breakout patch unfortunately. If I were you I would put an ice cube in a bag and ice it for a while, and then apply diluted apple cider vinegar 2-3 times a day for the next few days. It doesn't smell the best but it does help!!
Best of luck!

I agree with Quadboy, don't pick on it.
I believe it's a stagnant pimple which doesn't form or get bigger - so Just leave it be and place some ice compress in the evenings to lower the size.
Take care

Thanks for the Replies Everyone!

I went to a Doc not long ago and got a Cortisone Injection. 

Swelling had gone down. 

The mark has gotten darker tho. 
(Pics below) 

What i'd like to know now is. Will it be ok to continue Ice Compress and or Hot Compress??

I don't see why it wouldn't be!! I would still try ice compress or even heat.

My wedding went on without a hitch!
My acne cleared up perfectly.

Was able to cover the small dark spot with some safe makeup the former fiance now Wife gave me. 

Thanks again those of you that replied!
