Could A Red Bump On My Nose For Two Weeks That’s Growing Be Staph Infection?

Super odd urgent care visit...I went in and I have a very ominous looking zit/bump/bite/ on the left side of my nose. I was very concerned it was staph bc my boyfriend had a staph bump on foot and I helped him change his band-aid . This face bump on me looks different than any pimple I have ever had. The nurse I saw didn t pop it, didn t give me an antibiotic or ointment , she gave me 10 (5mg) oxycodone in case it became painful?? It has been 2 weeks now and it s bigger and still is here and has become more red. It only hurts it I take a gloved hand and press it.
