Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

What he has got is most likely a furuncle which is a bacterial infection of the skin.

That might have caused the lymph node to enlarge.

I recommend that you let him take a course of oral antibiotics like azithromycin.

You will need a prescription from your doctor.

It will resolve the bump.

Take care
