Brief Answer:
You should use Antibiotic for thigh infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the pics.
It look like Folliculitis.
As the infection has spread to surrounding areas, there is pain and swelling.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid 600mg twice daily along with anti inflammatory tablet to my patients with similar complaints.
Dryness will present through out winter in few people. You have to use moisturising cream .You should drink plenty of liquids.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
