See doctor: Have it evaluated by a surgeon. From your description, I can't tell whether its a trivial problem, such as an external hemorrhoid, or a serious one, such as melanoma.

On the exterior part of my anus, there is a small bump that looks like a pimple. Touching it hurts, yet it's soft and feels like it's full with blood/pus. Could this be an infected hair follicle? Should I add Neosporin, pop it, or leave it alone?
