Hello dear
I understand your concern
It could be due to hair follicle infection, abscess, infected sebaceous gland.
Clinical examination by primary care physicain is must for the diagnosis.
Doctor will give following advises:
Tablet augmentin
Apply mupirocin ointment
Apply warm pad application
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene
If not resolves then it should be excised by putting the incision.
Hope this may help you
