Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have reviewed the Image. This seems like an inflammatory acne lesion.
I would suggest you to apply one of the topical antiacne antibacterial e.g either clindamycin 1% gel or benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel, twice daily for a few days.
An OTC anti-inflammatory e.g ibuprofen twice daily will provide you symptomatic relief from pain.
