Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having.

I think that you may have a cyst. A cyst is a surgical issue and occurs when a sweat pore is blocked by dirt or dead skin cells. This will cause the sweat to accumulate in the pore and cause infection there. The tension increases and then there is pain and swelling.

You should see a Surgeon to confirm the cause. The surgeon will remove the cyst by performing a incision and drainage. This will be followed up with antibiotics to help you.

Wish you a quick recovery.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
