Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a little bump on thigh that looked like an ingrown hair and after a few days appearing like a canker sore seems most probably be due to causes like Ingrown hair, hair follicle infection or Folliculitis, infected gland in the area, infection of the skin etc..

I would suggest you to clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply a Triple Antibiotic Ointment over it..
Take anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen.
In case if pus is still present then you need to put gentle pressure and discharge pus and it will help in faster healing..

In case if it does not resolve consult a General Physician and he can advise you oral antibiotics like Trimethoprim and Sulphamethoxazole combination along with topical application of antibiotics for resolving infection faster..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
