Abscess: Sounds like an abscess. You need to be seen by a doctor right away. You may need antibiotics and drainage.

See Dr. asap: History and exam important to trying to determine what is going on. If infected, which it certainly appears to be, see a Dr., urgent care or ER before it spreads further

See a physician: You are describing a bacterial infection of your leg. This needs medical attention and antibiotic medicine. Don't risk it getting worse by treating it yourself.
