Suggest Treatment For A Swollen And Itchy Bruise On The Leg

I have developed a bruise (third week of the bruise) in the inner calf area of my left leg. This is the same leg where I have endured four ankle surgeries in the last four years including two fusions. The bruise is now itching and the leg is more swollen than before. There is increased pain, but no redness or fever. Should I be evaluated for a blood clot?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the symptom then it can be investigated for blood clot although chances of this is very minimal because it does not correlate the clinical symptom, it could be some muscular conditions hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
