Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
It could be some skin reaction. Other possibility is folliculitis.
No need to worry as of now. You can apply some topical antibiotics like mupirocin ointment over the lesion. A short course of antibiotics can also be tried. If the symptoms persist, please consult a dermatologist.
Wishing you good health
Thanks
