How To Treat Bruising Lumps On The Calves And Thighs?

Hi. I am a 31 yr old female,average height, healthy weight.2 days ago I noticed small bumps on my calves and thighs which felt like insect bites. I have scrached Then as the itch excessively. I woke yesterday with large purple bruises around the little jumps. One bruise is huge and sore,it measures 10 by 8 cm and is black and purple. It looks horrific! I have never experienced anything like this and rarely get bites, living in the uk it is not common.

Hi,thanks for the query.In my opinion -these lumps are the venous-varicosities, which have increased after the scratching ,which caused subcutaneous hematomas around it.Elevation of the leg / Venous Stockings/ Tb-anti-inflammatory-from your doctor / and SOS-antibiotics would resolve it in few days time totally.Thnks.Hope you got the satisfactory answer.Wellcome again to HCM forum.
