Suggest Treatment For Lump On Leg That Is Hard And Red

hello i have a lump on my leg it hard and red and is hot to touch and sore. It almost looks like a bite mark. I drew a ring around it 4 hours ago and it has spread around 1 1/2 inches since. When looking at it earlier i pulled something out that was black on one side with a thing stem and white at the other end. It looked almost like a plant seed. What do i need to do.

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You mustbe having infected sebacious cyst or abscess of skin with cellulitis. You should see a surgeon urgently and get the abscess/pus drained surgically. You also need antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulonic acid along with chymoral fort three times a day for 5 days. Also check your blood sugar level.
Regards.
