Suggest Treatment For Infected Sebaceous Cyst On Lower Back

Hi I am 17 weeks pregnant and last week was diagnosed with an infected sebaceous cyst on my lower back. I was given an antibiotic to clear the infection but this does not seem to have worked as the area is still tender but has now turned purple. What will be the next stage of treatment ?
