Developed Pimple On Inner Thigh. Squeezed And Noticed Pus. Feel Painful. What Kind Of Bump Is This?
Hi, a couple weeks ago I developed what I thought was a deep pimple on my inner thigh. I ignored it, thinking it would go away, but noticed tonight that it is still there, and was about the size of a small grape... I squeezed it, and a small amount of pus came out. I cleaned the area thoroughly and applied a hot compress, but it's still very painful and kind of hard. Do you have any ideas what this bump may be?
