See a doctor if the abscess is large, increasingly painful, or accompanied by fever, spreading redness, or red streaks extending from it, as this can indicate the infection is spreading into deeper tissue or the bloodstream. Abscesses generally need proper drainage by a medical professional rather than home squeezing, which can worsen the spread of infection.
