Brief Answer:
Please consult general surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This is not just an infection. The infection is just an effect. The cause is most likely ingrown hair causing the cyst. As long as it wont be removed (or at least incised and drained), you wont get it healed.
So the best you can do is to consult general surgeon with it. Antibiotics wont fight this condition.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
