    Its either an infection round an ingrown hair, or a cyst, which may keep refilling and getting infected. See your doctor or dermatologist if it really bothers you. Keep it clean and dont finger it. Sometimes they take a long time to subside. you could try one of the acne preparations that contain Benzoyl peroxide. You only apply to one spot to dry it out. Follow the instructions carefully.
