Definitely an ingrown hair. If left unattended it can get much larger than the size of a quarter. -- use warm compression (think warm wash cloth.) for like 10-15 straight, then take a clean needle and open it. There will probably be a long hair raveled up insides - make sure it ALL gets removed.
@babyeitrem, if the skin tag was removed then it could have possibly not been removed fully and is now infected. As long as you're not running a fever, then I would make sure to keep it clean and use triple antibiotic ointment on it.
I'm just going to call my doctor in the morning and see if he will pop it for me cause I can't see it good enough to pop it and my husband doesn't have a strong stomach

if it's kind of firm then it's probably a boil.
