Suggest Treatment For A Lump With Entrapped Hair On The Buttocks

I've had this spot right near the top of my butt that has been bothering me for a while. It felt a bit like a pimple at first so I wasn't concerned. It didn't go away and was becoming red and swollen, and also making it unpleasant to sit. So I poked it with a pin to pop it and relieve pressure; however to my surprise I found hairs that were trapped below the skin (full size hairs, like the ones on my head). Now one of my friends actually had a similar thing happen, but she wasn't sure what it was so she went to the hospital and they found a big clump of hairs under her skin and pulled them out. Unfortunately neither of us remembers if that situation had a name or if it goes away on its own. So what would you suggest, should I stick it out, is there an easy way to get rid of the hairs, or should I go see a professional?
