My son has a pimple on his thigh, it seems infected, some pu has come out but it remains red. I would like to know what is causing this pimple and what care to give it.

Hello, Madam,
Would it be possible to know since when you noticed this?
Has your son been scratching or playing in the area?
Does he have any other symptoms such as pain further down the leg, fever or other?
Would you be able to upload some well-lit images?
Thank you for your time!

We noticed a small red pimple at the beginning and a week later it was swollen but we don't know the cause. We applied compresses and some pu came out of the pimple yesterday and then I put some polysporin

As you can see on the picture there are several small buttons around...

He does not have a fever but he refuses to be touched because he says it hurts him.

Thanks for the feedback!
Was there any scratching, did he complain of itching? Did he scratch or excoriate the pimple when it appeared? Was he bitten or stung by an insect?
Have you been hiking in the last 2 weeks?

No hike he didn't mention that it stung him and he didn't play with it. He broke through after a long bath.

Hello Madam, I am sorry for the delay, I did not see the notification of your message!
I have consulted with a colleague and we feel that it would be highly appropriate to consult a physician for this injury given its evolution. An in-person or telemedicine evaluation will help determine possible causes and not delay proper management
I am sorry I cannot be more helpful at this time, the situation described is beyond what can be addressed on this platform.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
