It started out as one big red bump that was itching all the time then I noticed yesterday that it had spread it all over my leg with little brown or black spot I don't know if this could be bedbugs because I work out of town and I'm in the Sheraton hotel
Brief Answer:
This is blood being resorbed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From the added information, it seems you suffered blood extravasation under the skin. As blood clots under the skin, color changes and it would be eventually cleared up by the body's system. I will suggest that you monitor only as spontaneous resolution is what we expect.
I hope this helps and look forward to updates from you in the next 5-7days on how this is evolving. I will also appreciate images to further appreciate the then state.
