Probably either an ingrown hair or a pimple, I doubt if it is serious. However, if it gets bigger, hurts more, or you are just plain worried, then see a doctor.

I experienced that before, my doctor give me some antibiotics for it and advised me to stop shaving..Better just use some  hair remover lotion or hair waxing than  shaving.......But you still need to see your doctor  for that... hope this help

If you shave around the area, then sometimes you can get ingrown hair, which is just your hair growing back but being trapped as your skin has grown over it,

Its just like a spot, just pop it and you should see a tiny little bit of hair.

However, if you dont shave, then this would not be the case and i suggest you see a doctor.
