What is this tiny hole in my leg?
I have a tiny hole in the upper part of my left thigh. It’s been there for almost a month. I thought at first it was an ingrow hair. I’ve dug into it trying to get the hair out, and nothing but puss and blood comes. What could this be?

It could just be an infected pore- and sometimes digging at it or picking at it can cause it to not heal and/or become worse. I'd just work on keeping it clean and if you don't see any improvement, make an appointment with your doctor to have it looked at.
