Hair came out of pimple?

Hi, I'm an 18-year-old girl and I recently had a weird experience with a pimple.
So about 2 weeks ago, a couple of - quite noticeable- pimples started appearing on my face, around the same time.
I guess it's probably due to stress since I've just started college and all.
One of these pimples formed in my nose. It was a painful one, and it really seemed to be on the inside, and still deep within the skin. It almost felt like a little ball. Of course I touched it and tried popping it, I know I shouldn't (I keep telling myself not to). It didn't budge. After a week or so, it didn't hurt anymore. I left it alone for a couple of days. Today, however, it seemed to be surfacing, this time on the outsideof my nose. So I -don't know why- pricked it with a needle.
I squeezed it and some blood came out, alongside some clear fluid. I wiped that off and squeezed again, and out of nowhere, a hair came out! It looked a bit like an eyelash, and was about a quarter of an inch long. The "ball" I felt is still mostly there, though.
Does anybody have an idea what this was/is and how to get rid of this?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like some kind of ingrown hair. Although it is strange of hair to be on the nose.

Make sure you wash your face and apply your preferred spot treatment to it. I recommend benzoyl peroxide 2.5% or an AHA.
