Question

I've been dealing with this pimple on my areola for about a year now. It started off small, and I squeezed it once, which caused this white sticky stuff to come out. But this past week, it got bigger, turned red, and was filled with pus. It actually burst on its own today and got smaller, but it's still red. I'm on lung TB meds, and I'm also getting these little bumps like pimples on my forehead. I've had acne issues before. When I asked a gynaecologist, they mentioned it could be a breast abscess from the TB meds and suggested squeezing it more and taking Augmentin 625 duo for five days. Is this okay? Could taking Augmentin affect my TB treatment? Does this kind of reaction happen when someone is on TB meds? It's new to me, and I'm getting a bit worried.
