Hello,
It could be a folliculitis or carbuncle. It will be helpful if you attach a picture in the followup query.
As a first line management you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin for symptomatic relief.
If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
