Welcome to health care magic.

1.The symptoms suggest the features of infective aetiology with collection of pus with in, possibly hair follicular infection.
2.Other possible cause could be lipoma and lymph nodal enlargement.
3.I would recommend an ultrasound - ultrasound will help to evaluate the nature of the lesion, its source and extensions.
4.In case of infective cause - a course of antibiotic treatment will be enough, if does not respond a small incision and drainage followed by antibiotics.
5.maintain local hygiene, do not scratch, itch the area - as you will delay healing, apply some antiseptic liquids for aseptic conditions to heal better. Good luck.

Hope i have answered your query.
