Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to be case of bacterial infection(furuncle).
It should not be squeezed or manipulated, OR it may push the infection deeper.
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to take oral antibiotics(penicillin group) for a week
Topical antibacterial like mupirocin 2% twice daily for a week
An OTC pain killer like ibuprofen will help you with the pain part.
take care
