Just make sure you're not allergic to neosporin first...

This. I was prescribed something specific. The doc who prescribed was a cyclist himself; knew exactly what I was dealing with. Said to NOT use neosporin, ever, that it is very irritating (lots of people are apparently allergic to it.)

I had a cyst that responded to heating with a hot water bottle. Every evening for 10-20 minutes. Took a while, but went away without surgery.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I'm prone to a saddle sore in one specific area. I've noticed that if I apply neosporin or bag balm after I ride that I don't develop a saddle sore, even with higher mileage rides.

For blind large "boils" I use Magnesium sulfate-glyerol paste on a small piece of guaze taped to the spot to draw the infection out. Also pawpaw ointment (Lucas is one brand) which is great for chaffing, cuts, boils etc. I have a jar of it and after my shower I smear it on. It's also good for babies nappy rash.

I had a similar saddle sore. It would go away between rides but then pop back up after a ride. My doctor prescribed an anti-bacterial cream, which helped immensely and I thought it had gone. Then after a particularly long ride, it popped back up again. Then the doctor prescribed a course of antibiotics and the problem appears to be gone forever.
So, if I were you I'd talk to my doctor and get it fixed once and for all.
