Hi!! According to your history it seems to be a furuncle which is a bacterial infection. You should use neosporin ointment on the bump twice daily and can have ibuprofen for pain relief. I would recommend you to take oral antibiotic as well like amoxycillin but I am not sure whether it will be available as over the counter in your country. You should also go for hot fermentation of the affected area. This will surely help you.
