This type of pimple usually occurs when you have an ingrown hair. Eventually, it will reddened and swell, At the beginning it just hurts a lot. How long have you had this? It will come to a head, trust me on this one.
"ingrown hair...a hair that fails to follow the normal follicle channel to the surface, with the free end becoming embedded under the skin. The hair then acts like a foreign body, and inflammation and suppuration follow" Mosby Medical & Nursing Dictionary.
This will be very tender to touch once it shows. It will get better, just leave it alone. One thing you can do is use hot compresses on the area and this wil help a lot as well. when I say leave it alone, I mean don't be touching it or trying to squeeze it once it comes to a head, you may infect it. I hope this helps.
It could be what's called a blind pimple. It is a pimple under the skin that does not become raised.
