What Causes Sore Bump On Leg?
I had a random bump on the side of my leg. Randomly started to be sore and that s when I realiced it was actually there. I popped it and blood/puss came out. Looked somewhat like a blister but not completely. Not sure if it s from my clothing or some other cause

Hello qand welcome to HCM,
Bump on leg with oozing out of pus and blood suggests a boil or furunculosis.
However, you need to consult your primary care provider for clinicalassessment and thus prescription of antibiotic in the lesion is infectious.
In the meanwhile do not pop out the lesion to release pus or blood and do not touch it since it can lead to more infection.
Thanks and take care
