Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Dear right now I would suggest dont apply hydrocortisone.From the pics it seems it could be carbuncle.Carbuncle means collection of bacteria on local area (boil or pimple) of skin.It might need an antibiotic course .
The antibiotics which can be used are tab.flucloxacin or tab. amoxicillin for 7 days at least after discussing with treating doctor..Also applying antiseptic ointment would help.
Wish you best of health.
Please feel free to ask anytime further in case I need to clarify you more.
