Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Is it painful to the touch? Has it higher local temperature. If yes, it possibly is a hair root infection, red painful pimple filled with pus and with the hair in the center. Generally it is healed with an antibiotic gel (try erithromycin gel) and warm compresses on it. In rare cases it can't be resolved by this home measures and needs and incision to drain it out.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
