What Causes A Deep Purple Spot On My Leg?

My friend just called me because she has a deep purple spot on her leg, she did not hit it and her Mom thought it is a burst varicose vein. She called me because I have had several clots. It only hurts when she touches it like a regular bruise and her feet are not cold with her leg hot in the area the bruise is. I do not think she has a blood clot but should she get it looked at?
