Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query and evaluated the picture you sent.
It seems to be a case of folliculitis ,which is an inflammation of a hair follicle due to a bacterial infection.
Since you are not sexually active ,you have nothing to worry about.It is not of concern.
It usually goes away on its own in few days -1 week.
You can apply some hot compresses there and apply a topical antibacterial like Neosporin or Bacitracin 3 times a day for 3-4 days.It will heal in few days.

Hope it helps.
Please let me know if you have any question.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
