Brief Answer:
Furuncle

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
You have developed furuncle.
It's a bacterial infection.
I treat such cases with a combination of oral and topical antibiotic.
Tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for a week and ointment mupirocine to be applied thrice daily for the same duration should be helpful to you.
You might require a prescription for antibiotics.
Please meet your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
