I would advise you the following: Consult a General Surgeon;Investigations of blood and urine particularly for blood sugar;Get a prescription for antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines . Hot fomentation;Regular review.If resolves well and good,But if not he may need a small surgery to have a incision and drainage of the area and to investigate for potential fistula.
