Welcome to health care magic.

1.Possibily some infective cause, hair follicular infection, other possible cause could be a lipomatous lesion.
2.In this case you can apply some anti inflammatory cream available on the counter.
3.Donot disturb the area as it will complicates if you scratch, press,squeeze the area.
4.Wash with antiseptic liquid twice a day that might help to get rid of.
5.Operative procedure not recommended because of scar and more than the size what you are experiencing can be expected. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
