Hello,
It may be bleb or boil or lymph node etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use Mupirocin oint locally. If symptoms not improved please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
