Is Popped, Swollen Pimple On Thigh Oozing Blood And Puss Serious?
hi, i poped a pimple on my inner left thigh probably two days ago and now its swollen. It was a little scab on the head of the pimple so i had some ice on it to reduce the swelling and when i rubbed against popped letting out blood and some puss. It dose not really hurt but i need some advice on getting this clear so hopefully going to the doctor shouldn't be that serious.

HI .
This becomes serious if the infection spreads to nearby area due to exacerbation or due to pressure.
With the condition you described , it is advisable to take an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines as per your Doctor's advise.
