Hi welcome to the health care magic
According to the history you might have folliculitis like hair follicle superficial bacterial infection...
If you post photo than further comment will be easy..
If it seems bacterial cause than antibiotic course and topical betardine ointment will be useful...
If pus accumulates within lesion and enlarging than incision and drainage minor surgical procedure needed...
If lesion looks like soft tissue mass rather than infective condition than FNAC done to rule out nature of lesion
Consult physician for examination
Take care
