Hi! earlier this was an allergic reaction/folliculitis and now it is just an abscess!
Kind of contact allergic reaction first was there following rubbing the door handle; in the event of rubbing, some hair follicle got infected or wiped out from its origin; now making entry to infective organisms...these offenders proliferated there and attracted so many inflammatory cells by now resulting an abscess!
Hope you got the answer...therefore see a physician for some antibiotics.
