What Does A Yellow Spot With Purple Bumps On Thigh Indicate?
Question: I have a yellow spot on my thigh it doesn't hurt or itch it has purple bumps where the hair is coming out can you tell me what it is. i just noticed it today
Brief Answer:
its a bruise in resolving phase
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the uploaded image. It's a bruise in resolution phase. It might have occurred due to any unnoticed trauma or may have occurred spontaneously.
As the bruise is already resolving, nothing needs to be done. It should resolve completely in a week. A red bruise usually turns brownish, then greenish, then yellowish to resolve completely.
Hope this helped.
Take care
