Having Reoccurring Puss Filled Bumps On Upper Leg. Sore To Touch. What Could Be Causing This?
Question: every few months it seems like i have bumps that show up on the front of my upper legs, they are white, filled with puss, with a red ring and become very sore and inflammed looking.. Then they stay for a while before they finally go away, could you please help?
Hi there.
Is it possible to upload a clear photograph of the lesion on this web site?
Are they in a grouped pattern on the thighs & do they appear unilaterally..ie on one thigh? How long is a while..do they stay 3 days, 1 wwek, 10 days or 2-3 weeks before they go away?
Are you a sportsperson by nature?
Does a friend/aquaintence or sporting partner etc have a similar rash?
Do you enjoy travel/outdoors & do you recall any particular insect bites etc?
Are there any pets in your vicinity?
Await some responses before i make further suggestions. Regds
