Question on absesss in leg

I think i have absess growing on my leg or an ingrown hair. It feels hard and is about the size of a dime and it is red. Any ideas?

It sounds like you may have the starting of a boil. if this spot feels warm to the touch or very sore when you press on it than it neds to take its course to heal.You should apply a warm  moist wash rag to the area with a hot rubber water bottle or you can use a heat in the microwave wet towl.


You may need to see a doctor to get antibotics if you let it get out of hand. also take vitamin C pills twice a day.Drink lots of water.
