Noticed A Lump On The Nipple With Pus In It

Hello, my boyfriend had a little lump under his nipple a few weeks ago. Last week, it grew even bigger to the point where it looked like he grew a left boob over night. He then compressed a hot towel on it to open the pores and puss started to come out and a lot of it. Now its back to just being a bump again but a hard bump.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having ingrown hair follicle infection and now produced abscess.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days to cure infection.
Dress the wound with proper cleaning the pus.
Apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
