Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Thigh

Greetings, I have a painful red golfball sized lump on the outside of my thigh. I have already seen a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic, but Im not sure if its working. The lump has gotten less hard, and is very fleshy in the middle now, although that might be fluid. Ive also been heating it too.

Hi.
This is an abscess under resolution but with an antibioma around it . This is giving you the classical feeling.
Since the lesion is large , request your Doctor for a regular incision and drainage if you need a fast and early recovery. Continue the medicines .
