Thank you for updating, Mel,
If it's like Figure 3, it's granulomatous. That means the surgery will not be deep:

Especially staph is very likely, yes. Maybe strep, or even tuberculous. There is a huge amount of literature. I used the advanced search of scholar.google.nl. That allowed me to exclude breastfeeding, lactation, dairy cows, etc., and anything older than say five years. Even that leaves pages and pages of titles to browse. There's whole books:
