What Does A Small Raised Bump On The Inner Thigh Indicate?
My 7 year old son has a small raised bump on his inner thigh. It has turned red around it and appears to have a pimple like core in the center. I m worried it might be a staph infection, but am not sure if we need medical attention quickly or if it can wait until the weekday.

Hello dear
understand your concern
Bump in the inner thigh could be due to hair follicle infection, friction injury and abscess formation.
I would suggest to consult the primary care physician and examination is must for the diagnosis.
Following treatment will helpful:
Apply mupirocin ointment
Apply warm pad application
Take frequent hot bath
Avoid friction and wear pure cotton loose clothes
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
