Brief Answer:
Localised infection...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is difficult to predict what this is without a physical examination. However based on what you describe, this is more likely an infected local lesion. I would name folliculitis if I were to name a condition.

Fortunately this will settle down if it isn't handled with bare hands. It would be a good idea to start antiinflammatory pain medication like ibuprofen 200mg twice daily.Avoid touching / squeezing it. Incase the pimple worsens, consider visiting a doctor for oral antibiotic treatment.

Hope this helps. Let me now if you need clarifications.

Regards
