Brief Answer:
Hair follicle infection most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. There are lot of hair follicles in the area you mentioned. So it can be most likely hair follicle infection. If you send a close picture of it then it will be more helpful in analysing the condition.
You can wash the area with warm water or saline and do hot fomentations. You can apply betadine ointment also. If there is no improvement then antibiotic therapy will be needed. For that you have to approach your GP.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
