Possible abscess: It sounds like you may have a possible abscess. This is often caused by community acquired mrsa. This is a bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics. It should be evaluated by a physician to see if you may need a procedure called an incision an drainage ( i&d) to help your recovery.

Inflammation: You created local spread and irritation / inflammation by squeezing it when it could not drain externally. Warm compresses should help your body reign it in. May need to see dr for antibiotic if continues to enlarge.
