welcome to Health care magic.

1.It looks like a simple infective lesion (hair follicle ) if you have pressed and released the collection/pus. In many cases in can be self treating depending on the size.
2.But there can be chance to recollection - in this case a course of antibiotics will help / in case of larger lesion a small incision and cleaning of the lesion maybe needed.
3.Now you keep the area clean and hygienic, clean with aseptic lotion (to prevent infection. Pain killer for pain.
4.If seems not resolving, see your doctor and get examined and needful treatment.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
