Apply warm compresses to help drainage
Keep the area clean and avoid squeezing/picking
Maintain good hygiene and wear loose, breathable clothing

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed

A furuncle may sometimes be deep and require oral medicine. Try consulting a dermatologist to treat it better since creams are not a solution looking at the pain you are having
