It could be a furuncle or a carbuncle or an infected epidermal cyst. Examining it would better help to decide the further course of action. For now you can start with oral antibiotics (tab cefixime 200 mg twice a day) and applying fusidic acid cream .. but still consult a dermatologist to get a proper definitive diagnosis.
