Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,you seem to have bug bite or may be a boil / or may be a lymphnode from wound in the leg.To fix the diagnosis you need to consult ER Surgeon.
So don't build up wrong concepts and self medicate your self which would increase risks and costs to you.
Instead just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
