Kindly go to local surgeon nearby for examination. Its require proper examination. If its lump or increased abscess thats need to be drain by small procedure. If small than surgeon after examination suggest antibiotics n other treatments.
Don't worry it will be ok.
But take it early beacuse it will hamper ur daily routine.
