Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
According to your complaints it can be a furuncle which is due to bacterial infection of the hair follicles.
You should take oral antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines for this along with application of antibiotic cream on the affected area twice daily.
This should resolve the infection in 7-10 days.
