Puss means infection. Get to a doctor immediately even the emergency room if that is all you can do. Do not put a infection off.

Its probably a stitch, not an ingrown hair! You need to see a doctor as the infection needs treating with antibiotics and the stitch needs removing.
Cover with a clean dressing until you can get medical attention;

The answer is simple, go back to the doctor before it becomes badly infected.

consult your doctor...you'll likely need antibiotics...that's too close to your business to take a chance.
