Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to folliculitis. Washing with warm saline and applying betadine ointment will be helpful. But if lumpy swelling is there then i can be abscess and such case incision and drainage as well as antibiotic therapy will be needed. In such case better approach a general surgeon.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
