Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
The painful hard bump could be a furuncle or an impending abscess, an infection of the skin and hair follicles. It could have probably got infected after an insect bite which you would have scratched or excoriated. You need to treat it with antibiotics orally and topically. You also need to take insect control measures to prevent recurrences.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
