Don't squeeze it!: Squeezing simply spreads the bacteria within the cyst to surrounding inflamed tissues, increasing the risk of scarring. If you can't see a qualified esthetician, skin care specialist, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, you could use a rubbing alcohol prep, and a sterilized needle to puncture the cyst to drain the contents. You're right, that's a job for a professional!
