hi. I have read your question and understand your concern.
you seem to have a folliculitis or furuncle. they are bacterial infections. you need a course of antibiotics.
if such a patient came to my clinic I would prescribe
cap amoxyclav 625 mg tds for 7 days
mupirocin cream twice daily
I suggest you see your dermatologist and get a prescription.
hope this was helpful. for any further questions please get back to us. thanks.
