Suggest Treatment For A Bump On The Leg
I woke up with a bump on my leg a little below the mid calf area a couple days ago when I first noticed I didn t see any sign of bruising around the area the next day I had a dark blue bruise over the bump and 2 little scabs somewhat close together that look irritated around the scabs and looks like something may have bit me but when I researched different bug bites I couldn t find any that matched the way the bump looks. I didn t injure myself on anything that I can recall. The skin isn t warm or swollen around the area but I was wondering if it could still possibly be a blood clot or some kind of bug bite. Or if you had some insight into what may have caused it

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed spontaneous bruising.
you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.
Get your platelet levels, bleeding and clotting time checked.
Sometimes spontaneous bruising might be associated with dangerous systemic conditions.
I suggest you to get a thorough check up done.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,
you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
