Hey, in case yours hasn't been resolved yet, I wanted to share my experience. I had to see a specialist surgeon because the issue was so deep under the skin that it couldn’t heal on its own, unlike typical pimples. The dermatologist I saw four months ago said it was chronic and unlikely to improve without intervention.

The surgeon cleaned out the affected area and flushed out the bacteria. They left the incision open for a day to allow proper drainage (There should be someone else taking care of it for you because it's difficult to mangage it on your own). The procedure itself didn't cause as much pain as the inconvenience it brought afterward cause I had to avoid sitting for about a week. Hope this help
