General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a foruncle, which is an infection of the hair follicle. I suggest to clean the area with an antibacterial soap. I also suggest to use an antibiotic cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
