Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems to be a local bacterial infection of Hair follicle(folliculitis/furuncle).
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply a topical antibacterial ointment like 2% mupirocin twice daily
A week of oral antibiotics (penicillin group) is also advisable if the infection is deep seated.
An OTC painkiller like ibuprofen SOS will help you contain the pain.
take care
regards
