Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi there,
Thanks for posting here.
you appear to have foliiculitis/ furuncle- that is the infection of the hair follicle by bacteria.
You need to meet a dermatologist to get a carrier eradication treatment.
Meanwhile you can use mupirocin ointment to be applied twice daily after cleaning the area with salt water.
you can take analgesics like paracetomol or diclofenal to relieve pain.
Take care.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
