Just wanted a DOC to look at my leg if there was one on here before it rots off.

No hospitals at your God forsaken neighborhood? You could have MRSA and be spreading it to everyone or worse yet, necrotizig fascitis.

Post a few pics from various angles in good light and I'll let you know if youll have to have it amputated. No worries, you still have a good one left.

They should have cultured it before starting antibiotics. It could very well be MRSA - you should definitely return. They should have drawn a circle around the infection to see if is regressing properly. You should avoid contacting others with it, keep it covered, don't contaminate gym equipment or other items through direct contact. Looks like it could be folliculitis as well or a furuncle- read this Furuncles and Carbuncles: Bacterial Skin Infections: Merck Manual Professional

Hope you follow up soon if you start running a fever, the site is worsening, unrelieved pain - looks like the should incise and drain to speed healing.
