Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Skin problem are difficult to say about without proper examination. However, what appear is that you probably have a carbuncle there which  is in fact infection of the hair follicle, occurs commonly on skin. Betnovet is strong steroids and is by no means  recommended for such lesion. What I can advise supposing this is a carbuncle is maintain good hygiene and take some topical antibiotics. I prefer Clindamycin or Erythrocin topical. If you have any doubt or the above does not work for you in few days the best thing would be letting your doctor have a look on it and decide.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
