What salt does is absorb the water from wounds and pimples, which keeps bacteria from growing.

It's a bit painful, and is good for keeping a cut from getting infected, but it doesn't usually speed healing time. And I definitely would not put it on anything larger than a cut. Hydrogen peroxide is easier to work with on larger wounds and does the same thing.
