"I went to the doctor and he told me it was probably a sebaceous cyst and gave me some oral antibiotics," he continued.
"12 hours later it had prbably tripled in size and I has having difficulty opening my eye, so I went back to the doctor and he said I could go to the hospital "if I wanted".
"I got to the hospital and they immediately freaked, started pumping me full of IV antibiotics and gave me a head CT.
"Turns out by squeezing the pimple I forced the infection deeper and ended up with periorbital cellulitis. If I had left it much longer it could have spread to the orbit and blinded me.
"I've just had surgery under general anestesia to clean it out, and that's why I have that funny looking tube sticking out of my head.
"Looks like I've got at least another two days in hospital so I can get more IV antibiotics."
This is what he looked like after the surgery...
But luckily for him, they managed to save his eye and following the surgery it had begun to return to normal size...
We'll never pop another pimple again... damn we lied, we will be more careful about it in the future though.
