Boil vs cyst vs cystic acne?

How can you tell the difference?

I get cystic acne on my chin. This horrid thing is near my ear. I can't see it too well but it's huge. No head, it hurts and dh thinks it's quite movable.

It's bigger than any cystic spot I've ever had and I have never had one there before but I'm on new acne meds, so possible I'm having an initial outbreak in a different area.

I am on a google ban per therapists advice which is also why I'm asking here. If it's a cyst or a boil will it resolve itself?
