Boil vs infected cys: You probably have a boil vs an infected sebaceous cyst (infection of a gland producing oil for the skin). I would recommend warm compresses with epsom salt ex 30 min. 4 times a day to help drain it. If it doesnot go away within 1-2d., it will require incision and drainage by a physician.
