Greetings. Yes, its looks like a boil - or a furuncle - which seems to have formed a small abcess; in initial stages ites almost always hard and there wouldnt have been any pus formed for it to let out. The advise of you doctor seems reasonable and yes you will need antibiotics for this. You'l have to wait for 2 or 3 days to know if its working, by when the swelling would either reduce in size or would become soft and drain out. follow up with your doctor/ or another qualified dermatologist (if u feel so). Warm regards
