Weird bubble poking out my tire

Sup Bikehub, 

I noticed a bubble on my front tire after a ride today. The tire is a Maxxis Rekon, tubeless at about 20psi.
Any ideas how that happened? Certainly not normal wear and I've never seen it before on other tires. Must have happened quite suddenly too. 

I couldn't find much online but I did see a few comments saying that it's no big deal, stick a pin in it and it's good to go. Is that good advice, especially considering it's on the front? 🤔
It's not the end of the world if I have to ditch it but I'm not going to toss it if I don't have to since it's only a few months old and these tires seem to be hard to find.

You need to Raise your Tyre Pressure.

The Rim Has Punctured the tyre Lower Layer from the Inside.

Similar to Snakebite Puncture in Tubes.
