How Do You Take Redness Out of a Pimple?

I know..weird picture, but I have this redness I just can't get rid of.

I know in the big scheme of life a pimple doesn't really matter, but I always think to myself I'm 40 and why am I still getting these aggrivating things called pimples.  I'm so sorry if the picture grosses you out, but I had to show you the redness.  Do you have any ideas on how to get the redness out?  I've heard tea bags, toothpaste and even honey?  What do you think?  The honey definetely didn't work, it's just sticky.  I tried toothpaste too, it didn't work last night.

How do you take redness out of a pimple?  Please help.  Is there a good ointment for adult pimples?
