See your doctor.: This sounds like it could be a skin infection. A skin infection can often be caused by MRSA or methicillin-resistant staph aureus. This can be dangerous. See your doctor to determine what treatment is appropriate for you.

Ingrown hair?: It is possible that this is an ingrown hair that may have become infected based on your description. Seeing a dermatologist should help you come to a solution. It may require a minor procedure to remove it.
