    Hi jane,

    It looks like a skin infection, possibly a boil. Are you experiencing this problem repeatedly? Recurrent skin infections can sometimes be a symptom of diabetes. Have you been tested for this?

      I always had a problem with boils. I did start using amlactin for my ass thigh and vagina. I'll definitely look into getting checked for diabetes! Thank you!
