Have A Purple Lump On The Top Of Thigh. What Does It Mean?
Question: Hi What does it mean if I have a purple lump on the top of my thigh?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A purple lump on the top of the thigh could be due to a internal bleeding. Such cases do recover spontaneously without any treatment in 3-4 weeks after skin color changes like a bruise.
If there is no history of injury the bleeding disorders or decreased platelet count needs to be ruled out after consulting your physician and proper investigations.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
