It is a small furuncle. Or boil which is a small skin infection. It can occur there just as it can occur anywhere else in the body. Just avoid poking it much so that it does not get infected. If it pains or increases in size you may need to take antibiotics. To avoid that please apply ointment like mupirocin B twice a day..
