Go back to doctor: Without being able to see this there is no way in which to diagnose. Go back and let your doctor decide.

See a dermatologist: You may have an enlarged lymph node as reaction to an inflamed cyst. Antibiotic therapy may not be effective, drainage or removal of the cyst may be the best treatment. First get an accurate diagnosis.
