Black Spot On Leg, Bleeding, Bulges Under Skin
My friend has a pencil size black spot on his leg that has ruptured a few times and thrown blood about 3 feet . He has a bulges under his skin around it about 4 inches by 4 inches. He is virtually homeless, relatively smart with no income nor insurance. I am concerned but he also has a history of denial and sabotaging health efforts because he s afraid of the outcomes. He s proud, has been severely injured in the past, IE metal plates in head and surviving a burst spleen but wants to find a middleground.

HI I THINK IT IS GRANULOMA PYOGENICUM.IT BLEEDS BY SLIGHTEST TOUCH.NO MEDICAL TREATMENT WORKS IN THIS CONDITION.THE BEST TREATMENT OPTION IS ELECTROCAUTERY WHICH IS DONE UNTIL BLEEDING IS STOPPED.AFTERWARDS USE BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC AND A TOPICAL ANTIBIOTIC OVER THE AREA
