Brief Answer:
You should keep it dry and clean.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

At this point, there is no abscess build, just tissues inflammation. The best you can do right now is to shave this area, wash it with water and soap and keep it dry. Wear loose underwear.
If you have an access to Octenilin antiseptic or any other antiseptic, you can use it to wash it.
Antibitoic is not necessary at this point. If an abscess will be build (so you can see white head), it should be drained with a needle.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Please follow as instructed above.

Detailed Answer:
Yes, this hard lump is what can be clearly visible on the picture. I have mentioned that there is no abscess yes so there is nothing you can drain. Please follow as instructed. It can take days until any improvement will appear. And it might happen that antibiotic will be necessary.
