Hi Thanks for posting.

Seems to be bacterial infection, furunculosis i. e boils.

If i were your treating doctor then i would have put you on a course of oral antibiotics(Penicillin group/cephalosporin group) for a week. You can get a prescription for this from your local practitioner.

Also apply a topical antibiotic cream like mupirocin twice daily. Its available OTC

Use an Antibacterial soap for bath.

An OTC painkiller like ibuprofen would help in relieving the pain.


Take care
regards
