Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It could be infection of a hair follicle, folliculitis. Try warm compresses. Do not try to pop it. If it bursts open, apply triple antibiotic cream, available over the counter. If it does not resolve in a week or so, or you get fever, or other nodules appear, see a doctor.
