Hi,
I understand your concern.
It could be great if you could send a photo of the redness on the skin on your upper inner thigh.
From what you are prescribing, it could be infected hair follicle, however, other causes should be ruled out too.
I advise to get a physical examination by your doctor as you might need prescription antibiotics.
Meanwhile, can take analgesic orally until you see your doctor. Apply cold compresses locally.
Wish fast recovery.
