Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
You are having furuncle.
Start with oral and topical antibiotics.
Take tablet cefixime 200 mg twice daily for 7 days and apply mupirocin cream or fusidic acid cream on the affected areas twice daily till the time it resolves.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards.
