Leg ulcer?

Hi! So I just noticed a small wound on the back of my leg. It started last week when I scratched the back of my leg through my jeans and I felt pain. It almost felt like I scratched a pimple or something. I kept an eye on it and it almost looked like a pimple with dry skin. Now, it looks completely different. I looked up what it could be and it almost looks like a leg ulcer. My dad told me it wasn’t and he knows for a fact. I don’t have diabetes or high blood pressure and there are no other symptoms, but it really looks like one. I have eczema and dry skin, and it might just be a really bad scratch. Should I worry? (Sorry for the gross picture and hair)D2C3E029-8501-4D81-8DEF-AB27C8940858.jpeg

Looks a bit like a really nasty hair follicle infection. Nothing too bad, it just doesn’t look too nice. Do you have antiseptic cream or so at home? I would suggest keeping it clean and put some antiseptic cream on it. It will go away quickly like that.
