Make a paste (poultice) with clay and a few drops of eucalyptus oil to draw out the hair and disinfect the fluid that has accumulated to trap and contain the infection. Apply at night and cover with a sterilized band-aid. The next morning, gently wash off the clay. Do not scrub the bump and apply a small amount of eucalyptus oil  to the bump and let air-dry.
After about three nightly clay applications, the tiny hair will emerge from the bump and some pus may be seen as it is drawn out of the hair follicle. If the bump does not respond to the treatment by the clay , then apply propolis liquid extract, or colloidal silver to the bump to aggressively drive down infection, which is causing the swelling.
