Thank you for posting in health care magic.

It is a small abscess.
It might have occurred due to infection of the hair follicle in that area.
Please consult your Surgeon and get it drained. It is a simple procedure. After drainage, please apply antibiotic Ointment.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Wish you good health.
