Get it checked: Hard to say what this is. It could be a cyst that has become infected or an ingrown hair. Either way, it should be seen by your doctor. These are typically removed after the acute inflammation has stopped (No longer seeping) and can be sent to pathology for a definitive diagnosis. However, more serious things can present like this so please have it evaluated by your family doctor. Best wishes.
