Brief Answer:
Furuncle

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and viewed the image.

The bump seems like a furuncle which is a skin and soft tissue infection. I suggest you to use an OTC topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
