Be sure not to squeeze them yourself. When a hard nodule develops an inflammatory pus spot, squeezing it yourself is likely to cause the inflammation to spread, leading to orbital cellulitis and even life-threatening sepsis and cavernous sinus thrombosis. If the bumps become red, swollen and hot, or bring about a distinct foreign body sensation, patients should seek medical attention promptly and follow medical advice for medication or local surgical treatment, rather than treating them on their own as this may aggravate the condition.
