What Causes Hard Knots On Cheeks Post Cheek Piercing?
I've had my cheeks pierced for 2 months , and within an hour this hard marble size knot grew around it, I started squeezing and mashing it, and puss came out.. Does that mean it was infected. Also, was I suppose to squeeze it out in order for it to heal?

HI
Well come to HCM
This is infection and this need to be treated accordingly if I would have such case then I would treat this case with following medicines with removing what ever there in pierced hole,
1) Tab Cefdinir 300 mg twice in day
2) Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg three times in day
stop squeezing the wound instead this need to be once cleaned properly all the pus need to be drained and this only possible in surgery, have a nice day.
