Brief Answer:
Apply a topical antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Since you are unable to upload a photograph, we could treat it like a boil (medically called as furuncle) and see if it heals.
Apply an antibiotic cream containing 1% fusidic acid or 2 % mupirocin twice a day for 5-7 days.
If it fails to settle down, please consult your GP.
Hope this helps you.
