I Have A Small Bump Along With A Bruise On My Right Upper Inner Thigh. Should I Be Worried About This ?
Hello. I have a small bump along with what looks like a bruise on my right upper inner thigh. The bump is not hard but is slightly sore. The bump and bruise I have has not happened before that I know of. I almost feels like a large pimple. Should I be worried about this ? Any Idea what this is ?

It could be a sign of a skin infection. Is it very itchy as well. You need to keep the area clean and dry at all times. Maintain good hygiene. You can try applying antibiotic ointment under medical supervision as a trial or better to consult a Dermatologist who will rule out bacterial/fungal infection possibility. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green lafy vegeteables. Drink plenty of water. Avoid sun exposure.
