Hi,
It could be melanoma and you should get your biopsy done of this area and be in close consultation with your dermatologist it the cancer of the skin is ruled out. I would suggest you not to pluck the hair out and do not apply anything over it.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
