Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic.

I would keep a possibility of bacterial infection of the hair follicle/furuncle.

If I was the treating doctor I would have advised an empirical oral antibiotic for a week OR 10 days (My choice of oral antibiotic would have been Amoxycillin 500mg in combination with clavulanic acid 125 mg, thrice daily, for a week OR Cephalexin 500ng thrice daily OR Cefadroxil 500mg twice daily, for a week). That would take care of the infection.

An OTC pain killer e.g ibuprofen once or twice daily would help you deal with the pain.

However, if it keeps growing OR does'nt respond adequately to antibiotics, than it may have to be incised to drain away the pus and infection
