Cyst: This may be a sebaceous cyst if it is the only time you have had this. Many people can get multiple of these in the same area over the years. I would not recommend trying to squeeze it because it will make it worse. Apply warm compressses for 10 min twice a day. If very sore see your md for antibiotics that will improve the symptoms even though it is not a true infections.

I'm experiencing pain in my thigh. From what I believe is due to due to a large dark purple and green bruise with a golf ball sized, firm, tender, and painful lump underneath the bruise. Don't recall any type of injury either & don't know what to do?
