How to get rid of a cystic pimple?

I'm 20 and I've been getting cystic pimples for a while now. I ONLY get them on my nose, especially the sides of my nose. Also, I think they may be triggered by hormones since I only get them when Aunt Flo comes to visit. How the hell do I get rid of these things? This "cystic cycle" has been a rough one. I think it started out with one pimple then I kept popping it and now I have had like four of them in one month. It's getting old. I read not to pop them but I can't resist. Why would I want that nasty stuff to stay inside my nose? Anyways, are there any ways to get rid of them fast? I have one on my nose now that makes my nose look bigger than it actually is. ANY tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
