Itchy Hematomas In Thighs And Calves. Appears As Small Lump Than Itchy, Turns Hard Lump And Bruise.
I hav been gettingrandom itchy hematomas in my thighs and calves. They act as if they are bruises. It starts off as a small lump under the skin and then it itches just like a bug bite would. But i only get them on my legs mostly the thighs. i itch it a lot and when it stops itching it turns into a hard lump that slowly bruises and goes away completely in about a week and then another one will pop up again. Any idea on what this could be? I am 27 years old and the only medication I take is depo provera

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It could be some allergic reaction, as you are on hormone therapy so it comes first in ring of doubt, so you need to stop it first, and try some second generation antihistamine tab, levocetrizine would be choice just single tab. in day will give good result, another important thing keep stress level low, have nice day.
