How To Cure A Small Hole With Redness On The Left Lower Side Of Leg?
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a small hole accompanied with redness on the left lower side of my leg. Pus would come out if squeezed. Last few days, a dark spot that it painful to touch appeared in center where hole was first present. Is this a bite, a boil or what?

Hello,
It could be a superficial skin infection.
As a first line management, you can apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
