tried sporners corner with this but no response so hoping here might

I have an infected cyst under my arm
Have been taking antibiotics for 7 days and it is not changing drastically but not getting any better.
It happened before about 3 yrs ago and I had to have an operation to remove it but it has returned. GP via Skype now says not possible due to coronavirus, she didn't have any advice other than Abx.
It's about the size of a pecan/cashew! and deep purple. quite deep in as no head or dischargeNot painful just a bit sore
What can I do to get rid of it at home, or do I just wait.
Thank you for any advice.

Contact GP again, they may give you different antibiotics that are more effective.

Applying a hot clean cloth to the area a few times a day may help.
