Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The small bump that you have noticed is liekly to be due to an infected hair follicle or a skin poroblem like a blocked gland. Using topical antiseptic cream like Neosporin H can help. You can also take a mild pain killer and do a hot compress to decrease any pain in the area. The itching can be related to a fungal infection. Clotrimazole pessary can help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
