hello, i can understand your concern. the condition you are having is termed as folliculitis. this is mostly bacterial in origin. since it is present on the thigh due to friction this might take longer time to heal.look for ant ingrown hair which might be the cause. i would advise a local antiseptic cream like neomycin for topical application .this resolves most of the cases. a short course of antibiotic like amoxicillin+cloxacillin for five days would also be helpful to you. if a large abscess has developed, it needs to be drained. follow these you would recover soon. feel free to ask further queries. thanks forchoosing HCM
