Red Spot On Upper Thigh, Numbness Around Red Spot. Recommendations?

hi, for several months now my mom has had a small, red spot on her upper thigh. It somewhat resembles a larger pimple, so at first she wasn't too concerned. However, what does make me worried is the total numbness she's experiencing surrounding the red spot. This has progressed over some time and though it hasn't effected her ability to walk and such, the fact that the numbness and presence of it has lasted for over 2 months is a concern. The internet hasn't been a very reliable source of information on what it could possibly mean, so I was hoping that someone here could help me.
