Sounds like a cyst/pimple. Draining/popping them are very popular videos on Youtube

I agree with the answers above, if there is puss I would think it is either a cyst, inflamed spot or ingrown hair. I'd keep the area clean and as dry as possible and try and wear loose clothing.

Personally if it was me I would bathe the are in warm salty water to try and get the pus out and kill any infection.
If it gets alot bigger and more painful then you may need antibiotics but hopefully salty very warm water ( don't burn yourself!) and very gentle pressure on it will get the pus out and allow it to heal.
