HI
Well come to HCM
This may not be bug bite but the chances of infective boil may be likely, you are not going to loose your leg just because of this boil, if I would be treating doctor of this case then I would treat this case with Tab Ibuprofen 40o mg three times in day and Tab Azithromycin 500 mg once in day for three days, hope this information helps.
