What Causes Bruise And Lump On Inner Thigh?

I have a bruise that came from out of no where on my inner thigh. I don t remember hitting anything to make the bruise occur. Underneath the bruise I feel a lump. The bruise has started going away after 7 days, but I still feel the lump. What could this be ?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having a furuncle on thigh.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily.
3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like levofloxacin, cefadroxil and azithromycin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
