Hi and welcomet to HCM.
It can be due to hit you didnt notice,but also it can be any subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma,atheroma or fibroma. If painful this indicates that there might be inflammation so folliculitis may be considered. I suggest to visit GP who can evaluated are some local or systematic antibiotics required. WIsh you good health.
