    Very common. A big pimple or cyst can be filled with water, oil, or blood, or all 3. Squeezing is never a good idea unless you keep it CLEAN. Wash with soap and water, rinse well, pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a cream containing antibacterials, easily bought in a drug store, and a band aid.

    If the surrounding skin gets red and spreads, see a doctor tomorrow, because if bacteria got under the skin, you will need antibiotics.
