hello. it is likely that the swelling was an infected hair follicle and by squeezing it , you have spread the infection into the cheek tissues , that is why the swelling is seen. you may need some antibiotics for this, please consult your ENT doctor, he will examine you and guide you further and please dont squeeze it again. thanks.
