Hot water and baking soda for a giant pimple?

I have this huge bump on my cheek/mouth area and it isn%26#039;t a pimple yet but i know it will be soon. I put a hot washcloth on it for a little bit and then put some baking soda and sacyllic asid treatment on it. Will this help it go away faster?|||The hoter water unclogs your pores but i dont know what the baking soda would do? The best way would be to put toothpaste on it, weird put it rly helps!
