Hi,
It seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection producing swelling and induration.
It seems that now formation of abscess is likely.
Go for one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course.
If abscess is formed then consult your doctor and get it excised.
Ok and take care.
