Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Swelling over your hips can be due to some infection. Since you have been given antibiotics , if it abscess , it would get resolved.
If it does not work , chances of Tubercular abscess should be considered.
Skin tuberculosis can also occur by using western style sharing public toilets.
So wait for antibiotics to work. Discuss my opinion with your doctor.
I hope I am able to answer your query , still if you have any query ask me.
I find this answer helpful
