Infected area: This area is infected; for sure it requires twice daily cleaning at least; antibiotic seems indicated as well, with culture of the pus; warm soaks will help; the area needs to drain ---

What are you afraid: Until you go for surgery this will be a recurring, nagging pain in the ass. The longer you delay, the more likely you will have a more difficult surgery. The surgery is usually not difficult and is the ONLY cure. What are you afraid of? At least go to a surgeon for an exam!!!
