It is not recommended to press or massage hard lumps yourself if nodules are suspected. While massage can help with non-inflammatory nodules, this is a management method that should be performed after confirmation by medical staff, not a self-treatment. Excessive stimulation can lead to inflammation, so if the lumps persist, it is best to consult a clinic first.
