This sounds like an inflamed cyst or deep-seated nodulocystic acne, especially since it's painful, red, and growing.
Next Steps
Apply a warm compress 2–3 times daily and use a topical antibiotic like clindamycin. If it worsens or persists, you may need oral antibiotics or drainage by a dermatologist.
Health Tips
Avoid pressing or scratching it—it can worsen inflammation and lead to scarring. Keep the area clean and dry.
