What Could Be The Cause Of Painful Red Patches That Looks Like Blood Clot On Legs And Hands?

default
Posted on Fri, 27 Dec 2013
Question: My son XXXXX gets some Red patches (looks like blood clot) - sometimes in leg and sometimes in hand. If I touch or press it, he will have pain. And it goes away in around 3-4 days. I am not sure whether it is some blood clot due to some injury happens while playing or is it due to some allergy or skin issue. Looking forward for your suggestion.
