See below: May be a boil. Try heated compresses to draw it to a head to open & drain. If not responding to that, see fp for exam & treatment.

Boil: It's probably a boil. Boils are initially solid before they liquefy and produce pus. Sometimes they just go away without producing pus. Best to leave it alone. Most of these are self-healing. If it becomes very large then see a physician.
