This looks like a small localized bacterial infection (boil/furuncle) or possibly an inflamed cyst. Since it is present for 2 weeks and tender on touch, it suggests a localized pus collection rather than anything serious.
Next Steps:
• Apply warm compress (hot fomentation) 3–4 times daily – this helps it settle or drain
• Apply topical antibiotic ointment (like Mupirocin/Fusidic acid) twice daily
• Avoid squeezing or pricking it
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Do not try to burst it yourself (can worsen infection)
• Keep the area clean and dry
• Mild cases usually resolve with warm compress and topical treatment
