Brief Answer:
Folliculitis or clogged sebaceous gland

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
According to your description the lesion you mentioned could be infected hair follicle or sebaceous gland due to rubbing by the inner wear.
Infection can lead to collection of pus and blood, pain etc.
By clinical examination only the exact cause of the problem can be identified and treated.
As it is very sore, better to consult your doctor and get examined.
Systemic and local antibiotics, anti inflammatory and analgesic drugs can help in relieving the pain and decreasing infection.
Better to check for blood sugar levels once to rule out provoking factors like high blood sugar levels.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Better to get examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Better to use any medicine with your doctor's advice after examination only. You may also need oral antibiotics as the problem is not getting controlled with local medicines.
Better to avoid band aid as it prevents free drainage of infective material.
People with high blood sugar levels are much prone to infections and also delay in healing of infections. So, better to check once.
Take care.
