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.
