Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seems to suffer from-
Early Boil with perifolliculitis.Watch for another 2 days time,By which time- if it points with a white head with red surrounding swelling,drain it aseptically with a Gp doctor.Purplish conversion suggests advances with tissue necrosis.
Thus you should be concerned about this lump,as it would otherwise complicate it in to big abscess.
Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
