Welcome to HCM. It looks to be development of boil,usually occurs due to bacterial infection. Take proper local care. Start cleaning and apply antibiotic cream like fusidic acid. Also start oral antibiotic like amoxy/clavulinic to subside the infection. Nsaid will be helpful to subside pain,redness,swelling. It will subside with 5 to 7 days primary course of antibiotic otherwise consult your family physician for further guidance.
