Hi,
It could be a hair follicle infected and stacked inside the skin.
In general the body should absorb it without the need of medicines, but if it gets very painful, pulsates, sometimes yellowish in the turn into a bigger bump.Then you may need to see a doctor so he helps the drainage, and reliefs the pain, by doing a small cut in the top of it.
