Abstrak

At some point in everyone’s life homemade pimple drainage has been part of the routine, especially in the early years of adult life and teenagers’ days. However, pimple drainage has its special considerations as a mild medical procedure most of the time, even more in patients with serious skin diseases. Even when it is rare to see these kinds of clinical cases in daily medical practice, here we present the case of a 22 years-old female who made (as usual) a home pimple drainage that ended up in periorbital cellulitis and septic embolism. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and appropriate management of periorbital cellulitis to prevent the development of septic embolism.
