Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Bruises In The Thigh, One Purple In Colour, Pus, Other Red, No Pus. What Could This Be?
I have a spot that is purple like a bruise , but it s small -- less than the size of a dime -- and has a whitish bump in the middle. It doesn t hurt, and it s been there (inside of my thigh, a little below the groin ) for about 3 weeks. I also just found last night that another bump that was itchy on Tuesday has now bloomed into a red almost perfect circle. That one is on the same side as the buise-like spot, but the red ring is right in the groin crease.

In view of details, I would like to rule out possibility of fungal infection in your case.I think you should give a try to anti-fungal cream to see if it helps.Failure to resolve would need a visit to dermatologist.
