ABSTRACT
Everyone has used homemade pimple drainage at some point in their lives, particularly in their adolescent and early adult years. However, pimple drainage should always be considered a mild medical procedure, especially in cases where the patient has serious skin diseases. We present the case of a 22-year-old female patient who, in the course of her routine, made a home pimple drainage that resulted in periorbital cellulitis and a septic embolism, despite the fact that these types of clinical cases are uncommon in routine medical practice. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to identify periorbital cellulitis early and treat it appropriately in order to stop a septic embolism from developing.
