Brief Answer:
Carbuncle, oral & topical antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like a carbuncle.
It is bacterial infection of multiple follicles.
Your boyfriend requires oral and topical antibiotics along with anti inflammatory medicines.
Which antibiotic has he taken?
It requires potent antibiotics.
If I was his treating doctor I would recommend him to take tablet containing combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid 625 mg twice daily and apply mupirocin cream on the affected area twice daily.
Also take anti inflammatory medicines like tablet containing combination of aceclofenac and serratiopeptidase twice daily.
These all are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.Brief Answer:
