Brief Answer:
This is an ingrown hair!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have received and reviewed the image uploaded. This is suggestive of an ingrown hair. This is often provoked by shaving. At times, it may get infected typified by pus. If this happens or it continues to grow over time, I will recommend you see your doctor for review and treatment. I recommend against constantly picking on it as this makes it prone to infections and flares.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Am available for more exchanges as you please.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
