I had developed a kind of bump on one side and it was sore and red. It wasn't really like a pimple though, it felt hard under the skin, almost like a pea under my skin. I have found this might be an abscess or boil and am wondering if this sounds true? I soaked in warm water last night then applied antibiotic and it made it go down and the hardness seems to have gone away. The main bump had popped though, and another came up. But after soaking it last night, they are both dramatically better. Could someone tell me if this sounds like a boil? I had a wax a couple of weeks ago and thought it might have brought it on. Any advice on this subject?
