Woke up this morning with this red spot on my inner left thigh. Makes me walk like a penguin. Any help?

Looks to me like an ingrown hair!

Can I poke it with a sterile needle?

Can I poke it with a sterile needle?

Yes,but can easily get infected if you are unable to remove the hair.In that case you need to have antibiotic cream.

Disagree. Looks like a spider has probably laid eggs in there.

Can I poke it with a sterile needle?

Do it in a couple of weeks when the mass gets bigger and see if lots of baby spiders run out.

LOL I aint afraid of spiders I love em so that didnt scare me. I've had this kind of red spots in the same inner thigh area before, just wondering if there's anything I can do to stop walking like a penguin. It usually goes away in a few days for me.

I would be weary of a staph infection if I were you.
If it gets worse in the next day or so or continues to be painful then I would visit a doctor.

looks like a spider bite to me I usually put antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on them to keep the infection under
control like was said if it gets worse go to the doc
