Suggest Treatment For A Large Bruise On The Thigh

I have a large bruise looking circle on the back of my thigh just above my knee. Any ideas on what could ve caused this? I didn t injure it and it s been there for several months now. It doesn t hurt unless I really push on it and even then it doesn t hurt too much.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello respected,
According to your history I think you are having any pigmented lesion on back of thigh . because if it was bruise than it should go away spontaneously in few weeks.

asymptomatic brown black pigmented lesions can be seen in erythrasma or in pityriasis versicolor, both are very common conditions and believe me there is nothing to worry about.

try miconazole cream , two times a day
and combination cream containing salisylic acid 3 % plus benzoic acid 6% once in afternoon.

Another thing it could be is residual pigmentation after a type of drug reaction , called fixed drug eruption.but can't comment further without history and clinical look at lesion,

you can send me a photograph of the skin lesion if possible so I can assure you.

Thank you
