What would cause hair and puss to ooze out of a skin pore?

I know somebody who has a very deep poor on their face. Occasionally puss will ooze out of it with a bad odor. It has been there for a couple of years. Recently the person was squeezing the poor and several small hairs and puss came out. I know this is gross, but I really care about the person and am concerned that it could be something serious. There is also a bump under the skin close to this pore.

What would cause hair and puss to ooze out of a skin pore?
I think it is an ingrown hair. Next time, try to get a pair of tweezers to pluck the hair out and there are special creams that sell in drug stores for ingrown hairs. If neither of these things work, your friend need to see a dermatologist.
Reply:sounds like a seriously ingrown hair
Reply:that is considered a ingrown hair. the only way to fix that is laser hair removal
Reply:its just an infected in-grown hair, no big deal
Reply:that person should be dead
Reply:Ahh..the old "I know somebody" routine...this somebody wouldn't happen to be YOU now, would it? :P Just playin. My girl read this question, she says it is either an in-grown hair or an infected folicle...whatever that means...hope it helped!
