Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of wound on leg due to itching which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can cause pimple. It could be due to blockage of sebaceous glands leading to folliculitis or boils. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , antibiotics like clindamycin , anti inflammatory or anti fungal . Doctor may also prescribe benzoyl peroxide ointment. You should apply cream containing azelaic acid and apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
