Hello.
Thanks for writing to DoctorSpring.com with your health concern.

From the images, the lesion looks like an infected sweat gland / hair follicle.
It is best not to 'pop ' such lesions.
You should not touch, rub, lance or handle it excessively, as it can spread infection.

SInce it is already burst now, avoid handling the area.
Just apply a topical antibiotic cream.
Take warm to hot Sitz bath.
Keep the area clean.
Avoid using soaps, gels, douches, cleansers. Just clean with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Have protected sex till the infection clears.

All the best.

Please feel free to discuss further.

Why would I have gotten that there? Is it normal to get such a thing like that in that area?

Yes, it is very common.
It is like having a boil anywhere else.
So do not worry about it.
