Bruise Like Area On Calf. White With A Ring. What Is It?
Noticed an area on the bottom part of my left calf yesterday that looked like a small bruise . I began to rub it because i wasnt sure that it was a bruise and this morning it is about the size of nickel with a white center and red all around in a ring. I dont recall getting bit by anything and it is not raised. Any ideas on what it could be?
