It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

An abscess commonly seen in hidradenitis suppurativa, given location, is suggested by your description. Seeing your doc early for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan is recommended as some of these conditions become chronic.
