Have Indentation In Thigh, Pain And Discomfort From Lower Back To Ankle. Took Steroid Shot. Right Medication?

I have a very large indentation in my right outer thigh, just below my hip bone. It just appeared 2 weeks ago and I have alot of pain and discomfort starting from my lower back to my ankle. The center of the indentation is discolored. I went to an orthopedic doctor about a month ago because my hip hurt so badly and I received a steroid shot. Since the doctor's visit the indentation and increase in pain has occurred. What could it be?
