Welcome to Health care magic.

1.Your history suggest that its an infective cause, painful lump with pus/blood within and tenderness.
2.The possible cause by location is hair follicle infection.
3.What you can do is to visit a doctor - let it get examined, as it needs a course of antibiotic to treat, some times it may need small incision and drainage followed by an course of antibiotic for better healing.
4.Suggest you do not press, scratch the area - that way you will increase the infection and interrupt the healing process. Maintain local hygiene, clean are with antiseptic liquid. Avoid clothing which irritate that area ( use soft cloths ) that helps in healing.
5.Suggest to gat an appointment and get treated as some times it complicates. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
