I haven't looked at any of the pictures, but three weeks with onset of festering is a bit late for DIY surgery. I have used a sterile scalpel blade and disinfectant to expose a splinter I couldn't reach with tweezers before, but don't take that as a recommendation to do that to your face. Those were just shallow bits of thorn in my hands.

Now that I've seen the pics, yeah, see a doctor and suck up the cost. As large as that first piece was, and with three weeks of festering and semi-healing, there's no way you can be sure to get everything that's still there. Any DIY stuff will just give you an ugly scar and no guarantee of success.
