What Causes Itchy Circular, Red Spot On The Back Of Right Calf?

Hello, I have a circular, red spot, about the size of a quarter on the back of my right calf. It itched initially for 3 days, but itching has subsided. It has remained the same size and color for 3 weeks now, but has gotten hard and lumpy around periphery of the spot. I have found no ticks on myself and have not been in contact with any unusual materials. However, I do recall being bitten by mosquitoes on both legs when doing yard work. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to insect bites. I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application. I also suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg once a day for a week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
