Suggest Treatment For Itching Lump Below Knee
I had a stinging bite like sensation on the outer right side of my leg just below the knee. A hard lump started to form and it became so very itchy for a while. Then painful with dark purple bruise like colouring. The swelling has gone down a little but the whole area is very painful to touch. Should i see a doctor asap. thank-you.
