Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
It could be either due a Genital Herpes lesion or a hair folliculitis.

Genital Herpes is a STD, appears as grouped tiny vesicles filled with fluid and ulcerate soon to produce tiny grouped ulcers and heal spontaneously within a week or two. Recurrence is always there.
Hair folliculitis is a bacterial skin lesion affecting the hair root.
If you consult your dermatologist they will help in getting over the same.
Get well soon.
