Thanks for choosing Doctorspring.com I can understand your concern. This is a furuncle which is a bacterial infection. It needs to be treated immediately. You need to take a course of oral antibiotics like azithromycin. Also application of mupirocin cream twice a day for two weeks will be helpful. You will need a prescription for these medications. Please let me know if you have any queries. Take care
