Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It is a sort of bacterial infection, If it is not attended promptly may increase to a bigger size. If you use medicines, now it self it may go by its own, or may burst, so that all the pus inside is drained.
If it grow bigger it is to be incised and drained, and medicine are to be used.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses,sprouts,and Protein rich foods to improve resistance against such infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
