Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted the hard painful lump that developed in a short duration is most likely to be a Staphylococcal Infection of Hair Follicle (Boil) in a stage of induration .

You need to take antibiotic like Augmentin and anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily for a week .

If does not subside consult qualified General Surgeon for evaluation .It may need to get excised under short general anesthesia .


Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
