Bump On Back Of The Leg And Is Big, Pus Flowing. Smaller Bump On The Other Leg, Not Able To Walk Because The Bump Is Sore. Remedy?
My mothe has been complaining about a bump she has had on her leg for 3 days now. The bump is on the back of her leg and its very big. today she noticed a black dot on it and she took it out and puss came out of it. She had a smaller bump similar to that one on her other leg. But it was very small and not too painful. But it has gotten to a point where she can barely walk because the bump is so sore. Just wanted to know if you can help

Hi,
It seems that she might be having ingrown hair follicle infection or some thing bite.
Now there might be forming abscess giving rise to this problem.
Clean the part with proper drainage of pus and do dressing.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Ok and take care.
