Hello,
It may be due to folliculitis or boil.
For that you can apply neosporin powder over it locally.
Gentle application of heating pads will also help.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
In case of fever you may require antibiotics after consultation
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
