Hello,
The symptoms of your mother seem to be related to an infected cyst. I recommend taking prescription antibiotics. I also recommend to wash and dry frequently the area. For the pain, she can take an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
