Hi,
This might suggest a localised infection like folliculitis or furuncle. Try taking analgesics like paracetamol or ibuprofen(if pain is significant) for 3 days. Also apply hot bath over there. If not getting down by then, or she develops fever, kindly take her to pediatrician as this will need antibiotic treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
