What Causes A Red Spot That Is Growing From Inside The Thigh Towards Knee?
Hi Dr!
I woke up 2 days ago and took a shower, after exiting the shower i rubbed the inside of my thigh on something and felt some pain. I looked down at it and it looked to be a white head zit with a red circle about 1inch in diameter around it. I popped the zit and 2 days later the red circular area is getting bigger. The red area is about 4 inches long and an 1 inch wide. It seems to be moving down my leg toward my knee. I'm not sure if I got bite by something or not. I don't know if I should get medical help or not. The area around the white head that I popped is hard. How do I get rid of this?
