Brief Answer:
Regarding a cyst on thigh
Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
Yes I have seen the photos and it seems like an infected cyst. An oral antibiotic is definitely worth a consideration. The other best thing would be get it excised along with its lining wall so that it doesn't gets filled up again. Another option would be to incise it and drain and then do packing of the cavity allowing it heal with secondary intention.
take care
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
