May be brewing: infection, such as folliculitis, or abscess formation. Or it could be a large lymph node with infection somewhere else. See a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Lichinification: Prolonged scratching, rubbing, pinching results in changes like leathery skin which is dense. thick, discolored. If you do something to control the itch so that you stop scratching, the skin will very slowly lose this feature. Probably need a prescription cortisone. Try OTC hydrocortisone.
