Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It may be a staph infection or it could due to worm infestation.
Use antibiotic AMOXICILLIN 500 mg twice daily 3 days and ALBENDAZOLE 400 Single dose(for warm infestation).
To decrease the inflamation use pain killer like IBUPROFEN.
If it get repeated continuously check for BLOOD SUGAR levels, because FURUNCLES are more common in diabetics and malnutrition.
Use a multivitamin tablet daily.
Maintain hygiene.
You can also use alternate cold and warm compresses which will fasten the healing process.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
