Any place on the body that has either glands or hair follicles is susceptible to an infection, which is all a pimple/boil is.
Yes, she should see a doctor and have the problem assessed. They may lance it or they may just wait to have it resolve on its own. Chances are that it will take care of itself within a week or so.

Yes ma'ma you can. It could be HS - hidradenitis suppurativa. Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), also known as 'Acne Inversa', is a physically, psychologically, and socially disabling disease affecting inverse areas of the body (those places where there is skin-to-skin contact - armpits, groin, breasts, etc.), and where apocrine glands and hair follicles are found. It is non-contagious and recurrent; typically manifesting as a progression from single boil-like, pus-filled abscesses, or hard sebaceous lumps, to painful, deep-seated, often inflamed clusters of lesions with chronic seepage (suppuration --- hence the name) involving significant scarring.

Yes you can. Try bathing the area in warm water to bring it to a head.
