Hello,
Thanks for the query,

You might be suffering from furuncle.

It is a deep bacterial infection.

You need treatment with oral antibiotics.

Drainage is needed only when pus accumulates,

sometimes it may heal on its own

Let me know you have any other doubts.

Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
