Hi,
It looks like a cyst or an infection like a boil. Cant say with certainty without examining but it could be infected and the antibiotics should be continued for 7 to 10 days. Also, the area should be kept clean and dry to prevent from secondary infections.
For more detailed advice you will have to go to the specialist query section and upload a photograph so that we can advice better.
Take care,
