Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. The bump on your inner left thigh is most probably on abscess or infection of hair follicle called folliculitis. Usually it will subside by its own if it's small by bursting open. Hemorrhoid ointments like Preparation H contain phenylephrine, which is a vasoconstriction that constricts anal blood vessels. Usually it is used in the treatment of hemorrhoids. As your bump is already burst, and size is relatively small, the wound area will close by itself. Keep they are clean and Chat Doctor. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
