Red Swollen Lump On Thigh. Cure?
Hello. I noticed 2 days ago that something was getting very swollen on my outer thigh. It is a dark swollen lump about an inch and a half wide with a pin point opening, but I have a lighter red swelling around it thats fairly large. I didn t notice getting bit by anything though.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed furuncle.
These are deep bacterial infections.
Treatment is with antibiotics.
Do hot fomentation,
This will help in accumulation of pus,
It can be drained later.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
