Hi the painful itchy bump over the thigh is nothing but furunculosis.furuncle is a bacterial infection which is the inflammation of hairfollicle and surrounding subcutaneous infection.it presents as erythematous painful bump with inctease in temp in the surrounding area.
It can be treated with a broad spectrum antibiotic and flexon twice a day and application of t-bact ointment .if not subsided go for incision and drainage
