It was an ingrown hair. The derm injected a steroid and said it will hopefully go away in a few days. I'm glad I went in, though, because the pain hasn't subsided any. Thanks all!

OP here. I made a derm appt for tonight with someone I've seen once before. I booked it on zocdoc (hopefully they confirm it) and wasn't sure which symptom to choose so put "abscess.."

I will get these when I'm worn down.
They go away.
Just rest up if too stressed. (easier said than done . . . )

Go to urgent care. It is an infection of some type. Waiting to the work week will allow the infection to grow and intensify.
