HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I could say from the history given here that it could be the small infective boil without the formation of puss, it may not need any antibiotic but with anti-inflammatory drug it can be well and best drug is Ibuprofen 200 mg three times in day, it is advisable to keep the area clean, "Povidone Iodine" ointment can be used hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
