What Could Growing Hard Bump On Inner Thigh Oozing Blood Suggest?

Hello, I do a fair amount of cycling, and I've had a hard bump on my inner thigh for a while. It is painful while riding and sometimes is painful and has a chafing feel during inactive moments. I assumed it was an ingrown hair and would go away, but it has not and has recently grown a little bit in size. Today, as I was taking a shower, I pinched the sore spot and a large amount of blood came out. There have been small amounts of blood coming out throughout the day after the initial rupture

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This looks to be ingrown hair - boil as you have rightly suspected.
You have ruptured it during the stage of cellulitis that is inflammatory stage only; so the bleeding throughout the time you mentioned.
It would be wise to start an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the guidance and prescription of a Doctor. Also get a sterile dressing and please do not fiddle it more.
This may settle well.
