Hello,
Related to your symptoms I think this is skin infection (a boil), the most probably cause from staphylococcus bacteria. Antibiotics recommended by a doctor, are used to treat a staph infections when you start running a fever, have swollen lymph nodes, the skin around the boil turns red or red streaks appear, the pain becomes severe, the boil does not drain,and a second boil appears. But in your case for the moment you need a local treatment with antiseptic.
I hope my answer help you. Let me know if I can assist you further. I wish a quick recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Monika Dede
