I have a puss filled bump on my inner thigh. I squeezed it 2 days ago and now it hurts even more and its bleeding what could this be?
It could've been a boil. It could be acne. It could be an ingrown hair. Tough to say without seeing it.

But to treat it for now -- wash it with hot water and soap. Clean it with something like Bactine or another antiseptic wash (you can skip this step if you use antibacterial soap when you wash it). Put an antibiotic cream on it, then put a band-aid on top of that. Then leave it alone! Change the band-aid and put on more antibiotic cream after your shower every day.

If it doesn't clear up, see a doc.

(Yeah, I know....the temptation to squeeze is bad, but try not to since it'll make it stay sore and hurty longer.)

My boyfriend recently cheated on me. Now he has a red bump on his inner thigh and it's filled with blood or red puss. What std could this be?
