Hello dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
In such cases, appropriate antibiotics are given for atleast 2-3 weeks or till resolution of symptoms. Keep the area clean and dry. Do not squeeze or pop the area.
As per details, this is my best advise for you. You may discuss this with your treating doctor.
If you have any further query, you may ask me.
Good luck.
