Hello,
You need to get checked for herpes first by Elisa testing. If it is negative than bacterial infection induced boil could be possible. You can apply topical antibiotic cream over that. I suggest you upload photo of lesion to comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
