What Causes Firm Lump Under Skin After Boil Drainage?

I had a boil which came to a head and drained after suing warm compresses. My physician put me on an antibiotic as he said I had developed celulitis. It has begun healing but there is still a firm lump below the ski. What is it? And will it go away on its own?
