Hello,
From your symptoms it looks like irritated hair follicles because of pulling out the hair by tweezers. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi there, see your doctor for antibiotics to treat any infection. Next, it may be a wart or there may be some foreign body (which is quite common) and this can be removed easily.
Best wishes,
Thomas
