Hi, Thank you for your question. It could be a boil, furuncle or cellulites due to bacterial infection. Besides if it is non-healing then could be related to some other underlying diseases such as diabetes or repeated infections. I would recommend evaluating this out with the help of a skin specialist. Hope this helps.
