Dilated hair follicl: An ingrown hair often leads to trapped sebum within the hair follicle, which then becomes inflamed, and sometimes infected (pustule). It sounds like your pustule ruptured, and the inflamed/infected material leaded out, leaving behind a dilated hair follicle, which looks like a hole. Keep area clean and dry and Use proper shaving techniques to prevent recurrence. Take care!
