What Does A Pus-filled Bump On The Leg Indicate?
I have what looks like a pus filled bump on my leg...it’s the second one in a month...do I have some type of infection since I have gotten two in less than a month and it’s in the same area? My friend seems to think I have an infection and it’s leaving my body at the weakest spot

Hello,
You may have a skin infection that needs treatment.
There are bacteria that normally live on the skin. If there is a cut or scratch on the skin, the bacterial can sometimes enter through the broken skin and cause an infection to occur.
You should be seen to see if oral medication is needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
