Hi, thanks for posting your query
from your description it seems to be a boil or furuncle.the following may help:
-Hot fomentation followed by a topical antibiotic like mupirocin twice a day
-A pain killer like ibuprofen or paracetamol to decrease pain and swelling
-oral antibiotic like ceplexin has to be taken for 5 days
-The underlying pus needs to be drained by a simple nonivasive procedure called Incision and drainage , this will decrease the pain and swelling significantly
You may get in touch with a doctor nearby for the same
