What is the cause of a red welp in my leg?
Hi, I was in class this morning and a friend noticed I had a huge welp on my right leg a few inches below my knee . I tried gettin an appointment with the school clinic but I couldn t today. The welp was red a little bit but there was no pain with it . I probably never would have even noticed it. But anyways about 2 hours or maybe even less than that it was completely gone.? What could this possibly be?
