Last thing you want is for it to get more infected and potentially hop to your blood supply. When that happens you go downhill very damn fast and well could die if it gets serious.
I would guess the puss you currently squeezed out was just infected cells, mostly just run of the mill puss and white blood cell material with a little bit of regular blood mixed in.
Regardless if you do squeeze everything out, you will end up with a pocket beneath your skin that is a mixture of moist and warm which is the ideal breeding ground for a whole wide range of potential infections.
Lastly starting and prematurely stopping your antibiotics really only helps the infection. The antibiotics were just starting to do their job and by stopping them you give the infection the ability to become immune to that antibiotic or group of antibiotics. Which would really suck if you were prescribed one of the heavy hitting antibiotics.

The dr told me i didnt need the antibiotics really and that it wouldnt really help, she only gave them to me because i insisted. I will call them tomorrow morning right when I wake up...They are open 7 days a week
The medicine i have is Doxycycline, is that a strong antibiotic? The reason why I got nauseous is because I have to admit, I didn't follow directions properly. I only took a sip of water with it, not a full glass as on the directions, I didn't know any better at the time, and afterwards I layed down on the couch. I didn't know you weren't supposed to lay down after taking medicines. So I started getting heartburn and acid reflex really bad and I felt so nauseous.... I also had spicy food that day, which didn't seem to help, so I started to vomit.... And I never took it again after that... This was just 2 days ago.
I started reading about Doxycycline online and I read that it is very important to drink plenty of water because Doxycycline can get caught in your esophagus and burn it, its acidic and can cause ulcers in your esophagus... so I got scared and stop taking it... I just felt the medicine was too strong... A lot of people also seem to take it for acne... I just really hated it.
I hate feeling nauseous the most, it's not a good feeling.
I will go and have it dressed/cleaned tomorrow... It popped at night time so I didn't have a chance to.
