Throw away neosporin: There is no possible benefit of any kind by application of antibiotic to this. You neglected to mention how old it is. Might be acne., inflamed tricholemmal cyst abscess. A Dr can examine this and drain it if indicated. It will heal faster after it drains.

I feel pain in my neck (lowest part still covered with hair). It is even more painful to touch. It feels like a big/hard zit/pimple/lump. It is red and feels hot. I don't remember being bitten. Should I try tropical heat even if it feels hot?
