Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to me like a case of bacterial infection/furuncle.
If I was your treating doctor i would have put you on oral antibiotics for a week(preferably penicillin group e.g Amoxycillin).
You can apply an OTC antibacterial like mupirocin twice daily over the lesion as well.
An OTC pain killer e.g ibuprofen can be taken once or twice daily for the pain and discomfort associated with it.
take care
regards
