Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and you seem to be developing furuncle which is a bacterial infection of the hair follicle.

I would recommend you to take a course of oral and topical antibiotics.You can take tablet Cephalexin twice daily and apply Fusidic acid cream on the affected area twice daily. Also take anti inflammatory medicines like tablet Ibuprofen for pain and swelling.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
