What Causes A Small Hard Pimple?

Hey I've had this small pimple like thing about an inch away from my nipple, for a few weeks now, it had a white head at first but i popped it and some pus and blood game out, its still there, not as big but it kinda feels hard underneath, like a small pea. I've gone to the doctor once and he said it was an ingrown hair, not sure if it is though, should it not have come out by now?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some ingrown hair with infection and inflammation. You should take antibiotics to clear it. If it doesn't respond to treatment then surgical excision should be done. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
