Recurring Red, Tender, Sore In Thigh With Pus And Blood, Itchy While Healing. Is This Infection?

Hi I have had this sore on the inside of my thigh in the same spot reacurring for years now. The skin gets red and tender before forming puss and blood ending in extraction. There is a tiny tube conected to it which can drain the sore as well. Area itches when in the healing process. Worried about infection.

Thank you for asking.
well the presentation is of classic infection and i wonder what made you stop to seek help if you have this for years.
Go get some., This non healing recurrent area needs work up to rule out complicated etiologies even malignancies.
Good Luck
