Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints it could be furuncle which is bacterial infection of the hair follicle or inflammed cyst.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.

Not comfortable uploading picture. It is about the size of lima bean or a capsule like pill, not round, under skin, not on the skin, very painful to touch. Looks red/purple on top of skin. Had about a week now.

Brief Answer:
Seems to be furuncle, oral & topical antibiotics,anti inflammatory medicine

Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it seems to be furuncle.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take oral and topical antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines.
I would recommend you to take tablet cephalexin 500 mg twice daily for 7 days and apply topical antibiotic like mupirocin cream or neosporin ointment on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
For pain and swelling take anti inflammatory medicines like tablet ibuprofen.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
