How To Treat Slightly Red Bump On Thigh?

I have a lump on on my upper thigh. It s a little painful and slightly red. It s not hot to the touch and there is no pus coming out of it it. I think I may have bumped my thigh on the edge of my bed, but don t remember. Do you think this could be something serious like an infection?

From history it seems that you might be having ingrown hair follicle infection giving rise this problem.
Go for one antibiotic meidicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
