What Is The Treatment For The Sore Lump In My Inner Thigh ?

Hi, I have a lump on my inner left thigh, where my legs rub together. It appeared where I had rubbed my leg a little raw wearing shorts. (I am a little overweight , female, 22) The lump was hard and hurt quite a bit, especially when I walked. Now after a few days it is pretty red and seems kind of squishy. I am not sure if this is a boil, cyst, staph, or something else. Should I try to drain this myself?
