I had that on my legs years ago, infection, prolly bacterial growth. Nurse will come on and tell ya. I had so much going on at the time, dr wasn't able to pinpoint all the dang colors, I had the yellow, even a flour/orange, and danged if it didn't resemble tissue.-At any rate, it deserves a trip to Dr. Alot of soft tissue and possible deepinfec. take care

It sounds like an infection. You probably need an antibiotic.
