Hi
I review your pic and the lesion on left side of button is a furuncle (boil).It is an infection of hair root (skin abscess )
The best treatment for it is a micro surgical drainage plus antibiotic drugs.
Meantime I would suggest to use local antiseptic like and hot bags.

Thanks for the information I should be attending urgent care shortly to address further.

I also still have to take care of the inside of my stomach which is why I also scheduled an gastroenterologist for the inside of my stomach.
