Yes, it could be a pimple or an ingrown hair. The area is always sweaty and moist and your hairs could have ingrown from rubbing and sweating.
I myself often develop pimples in the area. Sometimes a lot of
sebum accumulates down under that it turns into a cysts under the skin. It feels hard and it doesn’t look like a pimple at all, it looks like a bump under the skin. One day it started groining and forming an egg-shape.
I went to a doctor and she prescribed me oral antibiotics and an antibiotic
ointment. The “thing” was gone in 7 days.
If there is not white stuff visible, you may put some warm clot on the area and keep it there and try to bring the white stuff to the surface from where it will drain. Applying topical antibiotics after drainage is a smart thing to do.
If it looks difficult, pay a visit to a GP or a dermatologist to get this sorted out.
