Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be furuncle ,bacterial infection of the skin .Along with furuncle you also have reactive edema of the area.
Oral and topical antibiotics along with anti inflammatory drugs would be needed.
Visit a general surgeon for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
