Having Blood Blister Under Left Side Of Chest. Noticed One On Thigh. Looks Dark Reddish Black Color. Suggestions?
Question: About a month ago I had what looked like a blood blister under the left side of my chest. It popped..dark blood came out..filled up again..popped and didn't fill up again. Now I noticed another tiny one on my left thigh. Same dark reddish black color. Any suggestions?
Brief Answer:
It seems that you are having haemorrhagic bulla.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
You are having bulla filled with blood at present on lower extremity..left thigh.
A month ago you had the same lesion on chest, which is now healed with scar.
This mostly likely is haemorrhagic bulla.
There may be some cause in your case but we need to find out that.
To help you further I would like to ask you a few questions, please write back to me with the answers.
Do you have any XXXXXXX disease like Diabetes, HIV, blood diseases or any other?
Do you have any other skin disease ?
Past history of any systemic or skin disease?
Do you have any habit of tobacco, smoking or alcohol intake?
Is there family history of any disease?
Do you take any medicine?
And also please attach a photograph of affected area ( one close-up would be great with one a little longer shot).
Awaiting your response.
Warm regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
