Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.The bump on your inner left thigh is most probably on abscess or infection of hair follicle called folliculitis.Usually it will subside by its own if its small by bursting open.

Hemorrhoid ointments like Preparation H contain phenylephrine, which is a vasoconstrictor that constricts anal blood vessels.Usually it is used in the treatment of haemorrhoids.

As your bump is already bursted,and size is relatively small,the wound area will close by itself.Keep the are clean and dry.

Hope you are happy with the answer.

Thank you
