Thanks for your response,
I took my daughter to her doctor and he did exactly what you mentioned. He didn't say what it was, but he took a sample just in case and with 1 week of antibiotics, the bump is now just a pale purple spot.
I could also be a spider bite most commonly known as a brown recluse bit that is the same description as the brown recluse bite I had on my leg

Hello,
It can be a boil or a cyst. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. . Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the lump.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
