Put ibuprofen gel on it, a thick layer, and leave overnight if you can, it will reduce any inflammation. If you think it has pus put mag sulphate paste on it, but not as the same time as the ibuprofen gel, it will draw the pus out and you can pop it.
Spooners corner can help you if you post a pic. Good luck

Are you bathing it in hot as you can stand salty water? Do it 3x a day. Savlon over night?

Hot compress for at least 5 mins should help. Or Mag Sulph might help bring it to a head.
