This appears to be folliculitis.
This is caused by infection in the duct of the hair or the oil glands which causes swelling, redness, pain and pus discharge.
They may need examination and tests before a final diagnosis is made.
After that a course of anti-biotics, oral and for local application may be prescribed.
Keep the area clean and hygienic. It is best that this area is not shaved and use alternative means of hair removal are used.
let me know if you may need any more help.
