It is: likely an early apocrine gland cystic infection. Use warm compresses three times daily for 2-3 days. If no improvement or worsening see your doctor or a quality urgent care center for evaluation. If drainage can be effected with compresses itis likely no antibiotics are needed. Drainage is paramount. Antibiotics only contain and usually don't cure an abscess if it has progressed to that.
