Upper Leg Lesion: Without seeing the skin lesion it is impossible to make a diagnosis. The lesion could be an infection or even a skin cancer. See your local dermatologist for a diagnosis.

Abscess: This sounds classic for an abscess. Go to your doctor to have it examined. If its an abscess, it will need to be drained.
