Boil/pimple type developed on right inner thigh. It is very painful and can't walk as it can rub to other thigh . The size has increased since morning. Been there for 2 days. From image you can see the surround ing has been swollen a lot. What is it exactly and Is there an immediate relief? Maybe applying ice or heat? Some sort of cream?
