Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic This is most probably a skin infection, either a folliculitis Or a furuncle; the infection gaining entry through the hair follicle. If I was the treating doctor I would have started you on a course of an oral antibiotic for a week e.g either flucloxacillin Or cephalexin. Oral antibiotics are prescription products and I would suggest that you to talk to your physician for the needful. Topically you may use an OTC topical antibacterial e.g 2% mupirocin ointment, twice daily for a week. Don t manipulate or squeeze as this may push the infection into the surrounding tissues. Regards
