Ingrown hair on chin from plucking, cannot be seen . area is sore and looks like a pimple. will it eventually come out. ?

See your doctor: This sounds like an infection of the skin/hair follicle. You can try some warm compresses to the area to allow it to drain. I would advise you not to pick at it or try to open it up yourself. See your doctor if it is worsening or not improving.
