Hi,
It seems that there might be having ingrown hair follicle infection producing an abscess.
The thing you pull it out might be slough which is common in abscess.
Clean local wound with antiseptic lotion and dress it with antibiotic cream.
If swelling or induration is more, you require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
